## Community
ConanCenterIndex is an Open Source MIT licensed project; it is developed by the Conan maintainers and a great community of contributors.
## Dev-flow & Pull Requests
CCI follows the ["GitFlow"](https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html) branching model.
Issues are triaged and categorized mainly by type (package request, bug...) and priority (high, medium...) using GitHub
labels.
To contribute follow the next steps:
1. Comment in the corresponding issue that you want to contribute the package/fix proposed. If there is no open issue, we strongly suggest
opening one to gather feedback.
2. Make sure to [request access](docs/adding_packages/README.md#request-access) and be aware there is a [contributor licenses agreement](https://cla-assistant.io/conan-io/conan-center-index).
3. Get setup by following the [Developing Recipes](docs/developing_recipes_locally.md) guide and learn the basic commands.
4. Check the [How To Add Packages](docs/adding_packages/README.md) page for the break down of ConanCenterIndex specific conventions and practices.
5. In your fork create a `package/xxx` branch from the `master` branch and develop
your fix/packages as discussed in previous step.
6. [Submit a pull request](docs/adding_packages/README.md#submitting-a-package) once you are ready. This can be when you
got everything working or even if you need help. Add the text to the issue body (besides other comments): "fixes #IssueNumber"
in the body of the PR, referring to the issue of step 1.
The Conan Community works hard to review all the pull requests and provide assistance where need.
The [Review Process](docs/review_process.md) is partially automated with the help of @conan-center-index-bot :rocket:
## Issues
If you think you found a bug in CCI or in a recipe, open an issue indicating the following:
- Explain the Conan version, Operating System, compiler and any other tool that could be related to the issue.
- Explain, as detailed as possible, how to reproduce the issue. Use git repository to contain code/recipes to reproduce issues, or a snippet.
- Include the expected behavior as well as what actually happened.
- Provide output captures (as text).
- Feel free to attach a screenshot or video illustrating the issue if you think it will be helpful.
For any suggestion, feature request or question open an issue indicating the following:
- Questions and support requests are always welcome.
- Use the [question] or [suggestion] tags in the title (provided by github issues templates).
- Try to explain the motivation, what are you trying to do, what is the pain it tries to solve.
- What do you expect from CCI.
We use the following tags to control the status of the issues and pull requests, you can learn more in [Labels](docs/labels.md) document
which details the important one and their roles.
