Code Contributions

Unsure where to begin contributing to Open Collective? You can start by looking through the good first issueslabel, which should only require a few lines of code, and a test or two.

General guidelines

• The strings must be internationalized. See /help/developers/translations

• Whenever it's possible we must use styled-components to write styles. See OC Styleguide

• Icons must be imported from the styled-icons library.

• Tests written with Cypress must follow our good practices conventions.

Code review process

The bigger the pull request, the longer it will take to review and merge. Try to break down large pull requests into smaller chunks. If it's a bug fix, it will probably be quickly merged and deployed. If it's a new feature, it will need more testing and review.
