If you retake the code they produced, **don't change the author of the commits**. Before writing the code, first create a fork of the repository and clone it. You may also want to add the original repository (`Deuchnord/kosmorro`), so you can update your fork with the last upstream commits. + Then create a new branch and start coding. Finally, commit and push, then open a PR on this project. If your project is not complete, feel free to open it as Draft (if you forgot to activate the Draft status, just edit the first comment to say it), then mark it as ready for review when you're done. +### Choosing the right target branch + +Whatever you are doing, always base your working branch on `master`. +When you create your PR, please consider selecting the right target branch: + +- If you are fixing a bug or optimizing something, then target the `master` branch. +- If you are doing anything else, then target the `feature` branch. + +This allows to make easier to publish patch releases, which have a higher priority than the minor releases. + ### Dealing with the translations The messages file contains all the messages Kosmorro can display, in order to make them translatable. When you change code, you may change also the messages displayed by the software.
