## Contributing to Haveno
|
|
|
|
Thanks for wishing to help! Here there are some guidelines and information about the development process. We suggest you to join the matrix room `#haveno-dev` (relayed on Freenode) and have a chat with the devs, so that we can help get you started.
|
|
|
|
Issues are tracked on GitHub. We use [a label system](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/50) and GitHub's [project boards](https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/projects) to simplify development. Make sure to take a look at those and to follow the priorities suggested.

|
|
### General guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Be verbose. Remember this is collaborative development and we need to make life as easy as possible for future developers and for the current maintainers.
|
|
- All formatting needs to be consistent with the current code.
|
|
- Changes must be done 'the right way'. No hacks to make things work, if you are having issues, let the other devs know, so that we can help you out.

## Development process
|
|
|
|
- Pull requests should contain as many details as possible about what you are going to change and why. Avoid "title only" PRs, unless they are self-explanatory.
|
|
- Pull requests should contain one single commit, unless it makes sense to have more. Please become familiar with git if you are not.
|
|
- Pull requests won't be merged before 24 hours has passed. This timeframe will be extended when Haveno will have more active developers. |
