Contributing

Oxidus is actively maintained on GitHub and contributions are welcome. This page covers the branching model and the workflow for getting a change merged.

Branching Model

The main branch is the stable branch and is protected — only specific users and automated tools push to it directly. All work happens on feature branches cut from main, and changes land back on main through reviewed pull requests.

How to Contribute

1. Create a branch off the latest main:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   git checkout -b your-feature-branch

2. Make your changes. Match the surrounding code — consistent 2-space indentation, brace-on-same-line, snake_case naming, and LPCDoc comment headers on functions. Keep commits focused.

3. Open a pull request against main. Describe what changed and why.

4. Review and merge. Once the pull request is reviewed and approved, it is merged into main.

Before You Submit

• Make sure the code compiles and loads cleanly in the driver.
• If your change touches a documented system, update the relevant page under this wiki.
• Run the unit tests for any area you changed (see the testing skill and the runtests wizard command).
