Contributing just involves sending a pull request. You will probably be more Contributing just involves sending a pull request. You will probably be more

your plans. irc.freenode.net upfront and discuss your plans.
## Release Cycle Note: rules are made to be broken. Adjust or ignore any/all of these as you see
fit, but be prepared to justify it to your peers.
The master branch of sway is always working towards becoming the next release.
That release will go through each of these three stages:
**In development**: during this time the release lives in the master branch and
is considered unstable. All pull requests merged during this time will land in
the release. Only developers are encouraged to run this version.
**Release candidate**: at some point (usually when development is fairly quiet),
SirCmpwn will announce an upcoming release candidate, often 2 weeks in
advance. When the two weeks are up, a branch is cut (i.e. 0.8-rc1) and from
that point only bugfixes land in this branch. Each week, if bugfixes landed
during the week, a new RC is cut. During the RC phase, more adventurous users
are encouraged to upgrade and start looking for and reporting bugs (especially
in new features).
**Stable release**: when no substantial changes are merged into an RC for one
week, it's released as a new stable version of sway. At this point, all users
are encouraged to upgrade.

When you submit your pull request, your commit log should do most of the talking
when it comes to describing your changes and their motivation. In addition to
this, your pull request's comments will ideally include a test plan that the
reviewers can use to (1) demonstrate the problem on master, if applicable and
(2) verify that the problem no longer exists with your changes applied (or that
your new features work correctly). Document all of the edge cases you're aware
of so we can adequately test them - then verify the test plan yourself before
submitting.

## Coding Style See [here](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) for more details.
Sway is written in C. The style guidelines is [kernel ## Code Review
style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but all braces go
on the same line (*"but K&R says so!" is a silly way of justifying something*).
Some points to note:
* Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason When your changes are submitted for review, one or more core committers will
* Do not use macros unless you have a *really* good reason look over them. Smaller changes might be merged with little fanfare, but larger
* Align `case` with `switch` changes will typically see review from several people. Be prepared to receive
* Tabs, not spaces some feedback - you may be asked to make changes to your work. Our code review
* `char *pointer` - note position of `*` process is:
* Use logging with reckless abandon
* Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners
An example of well formatted code: 1. **Triage** the pull request. Do the commit messages make sense? Is a test
plan necessary and/or present? Add anyone as reviewers that you think should
be there (using the relevant GitHub feature, if you have the permissions, or
with an @mention if necessary).
2. **Review** the code. Look for code style violations, naming convention
violations, buffer overflows, memory leaks, logic errors, non-portable code
(including GNU-isms), etc. For significant changes to the public API, loop in
a couple more people for discussion.
3. **Execute** the test plan, if present.
4. **Merge** the pull request when all reviewers approve.
5. **File** follow-up tickets if appropriate.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "log.h"
#include "example.h"
struct foobar { Sway is written in C with a style similar to the [kernel
char *foo; style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but
int bar; with a few notable differences.

int main(int argc, const char **argv) { Try to keep your code conforming to C11 and POSIX as much as possible, and do
if (argc != 4) { not use GNU extensions.
sway_abort("Do not run this program manually. See man 5 sway and look for output options.");
### Brackets
Brackets always go on the same line, including in functions.
Always include brackets for if/while/for, even if it's a single statement.

double window_ratio = (double) window->width / window->height; ### Names
double bg_ratio = width / height;
Global function and type names should be prefixed with `sway_submodule_` (e.g.
if (window_ratio > bg_ratio) { `struct sway_output`, `sway_output_destroy`). For static functions and
double scale = (double) window->height / height; types local to a file, the names chosen aren't as important. Static functions
cairo_scale(window->cairo, scale, scale); shouldn't have a `sway_` prefix.

0); all of the characters, and replace any invalid characters with an underscore.

cairo_pattern_set_extend(pattern, CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT); For functions not returning a value, they should return a (stdbool.h) bool to

break;
} ### Macros

} you do need to use them, try to keep them close to where they're being used and
`#undef` them after.
