## Contributing
I value any contribution to minitar you can provide: a bug report, a feature
request, or code contributions. There are a few guidelines for contributing to
minitar:
* Code changes *will not* be accepted without tests. The test suite is
written with [Minitest][].
* Match my coding style.
* Use a thoughtfully-named topic branch that contains your change. Rebase
your commits into logical chunks as necessary.
* Use [quality commit messages][].
* Do not change the version number; when your patch is accepted and a release
is made, the version will be updated at that point.
* Submit a GitHub pull request with your changes.
* New or changed behaviours require appropriate documentation.
### Test Dependencies
minitar uses Ryan Davis’s [Hoe][] to manage the release process, and it adds a
number of rake tasks. You will mostly be interested in:
$ rake
which runs the tests the same way that:
$ rake test
$ rake travis
will do.
To assist with the installation of the development dependencies for minitar, I
have provided the simplest possible Gemfile pointing to the (generated)
`minitar.gemspec` file. This will permit you to do:
$ bundle install
to get the development dependencies. If you aleady have `hoe` installed, you
can accomplish the same thing with:
$ rake newb
This task will install any missing dependencies, run the tests/specs, and
generate the RDoc.
You can run tests with code coverage analysis by running:
$ rake test:coverage
### Workflow
Here's the most direct way to get your work merged into the project:
* Fork the project.
* Clone down your fork (`git clone git://github.com/<username>/minitar.git`).
* Create a topic branch to contain your change (`git checkout -b
my_awesome_feature`).
* Hack away, add tests. Not necessarily in that order.
* Make sure everything still passes by running `rake`.
* If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors.
* Push the branch up (`git push origin my_awesome_feature`).
* Create a pull request against halostatue/minitar and describe what your
change does and the why you think it should be merged.
### Contributors
* Austin Ziegler created minitar, based on work originally written by
Mauricio Fernández for rpa-base.
