Contribution Guidelines

We welcome contributions to the DITA-OT documentation.

Create an Issue

If you find a bug — and you don’t know how to fix it, create an issue to request changes.

Before you do that, review the open issues to make sure it hasn't already been reported.

or — even better:

Create a Pull Request

If you know how to fix the issue yourself, that's great! Here's what to do:

  1. Fork the repository,
  2. Create a new branch,
  3. Make your changes on the new branch, and
  4. Send a pull request.

Always create a branch for your changes

The DITA-OT project uses the Git Flow branching strategy.

In this model, change requests are tracked in feature branches that are created by branching off of the main development baseline in the develop branch. This makes it easier to keep track of related changes and merge them back into the development stream later. To find out more about how this works, see the Gitflow Workflow tutorial.

To send a pull request, create a feature branch in your fork with a name like feature/my-changes, make your changes on that branch in your fork and issue the pull request from there.
