# Contributing
The code for the project is handled via its [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/justintadlock/breadcrumb-trail). You can open tickets, create patches, and send pull requests there.
## Pull requests
Problem first. Solution second.
Pull requests should have a ticket open for discussion first. I rarely accept pull requests that aren't for a specific issue for various reasons. It's far better to post an issue and let me or the community provide feedback prior to creating a pull request.
Please don't make pull requests against the `master` branch. This is the latest, stable code. You can make a pull request against one of the point branches or the `dev` (future release) branch.
## Coding standards
In general, the project follows all WordPress [coding standards](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards). There are instances where it doesn't, opting for personal choices of my own, but in terms of contributing, following the WordPress standards is best practice.
## Script and style files
When making patches or pull requests with changes to script or style files, only do so to the primary file. Don't create patches for the minified (`.min`) versions of the files. Those will be minified after a patch is merged into the code base.
## Language
All text strings follow U.S. English by default. While such guides are generally unneeded, in cases where style considerations are necessary, these will typically follow conventions laid out in *Elements of Style* or the *AP Stylebook*.
## Licensing
Any code contributed to the project via patches, pull requests, or other means will be licensed under the [GPL version 2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html) or later. By contributing code to the project, you provide consent to use such code under this license. The exception to this rule is when bringing in third-party code with an alternate open source license.
## Versioning
The project uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org). Version numbers will look like `3.2.1` where `3` is the "major" release, `2` is the minor release, and `1` is the patch release.
