On the other hand, if you think your solution is better, post +it with reference to the other one so we can have both solutions to compare. + +If not, then go ahead and submit a PR.

Please copy to anyone relevant (e.g. plugin +maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message. + +For any extensive change, such as a new plugin, you will have to find testers to +1 your PR. + +### New plugin aliases + +We acknowledge that aliases are a core part of Oh My Zsh. There are plugins that have +100 aliases! + +This has become an issue for two opposing reasons: + +- Some users want to have their personal aliases in Oh My Zsh. +- Some users don't want any aliases at all and feel that there are too many. + +Because of this, from now on, we require that new aliases follow these conditions: + +1. They will be used by many people, not just a few. +2. The aliases will be used many times and for common tasks. +3. Prefer one generic alias over many specific ones. +4. When justifying the need for an alias, talk about workflows where you'll use it, + preferably in combination with other aliases. +5. If a command with the same name exists, look for a different alias name. + +This list is not exhaustive! Please remember that your alias will be in the machines of many people, +so it should be justified why they should have it. + +---- + +## Use the Search, Luke + +_May the Force (of past experiences) be with you_ + +GitHub offers [many search features](https://help.github.com/articles/searching-github/) +to help you check whether a similar contribution to yours already exists. Please search +before making any contribution, it avoids duplicates and eases maintenance. Trust me, +that works 90% of the time. + +You can also take a look at the [FAQ](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/FAQ) +to be sure your contribution has not already come up. + +If all fails, your thing has probably not been reported yet, so you can go ahead +and [create an issue](#reporting-issues) or [submit a PR](#submitting-pull-requests). + +---- + +## Commit Guidelines + +Oh My Zsh uses the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) +specification. The automatic changelog tool uses these to automatically generate +a changelog based on the commit messages. Here's a guide to writing a commit message +to allow this: + +### Format + +``` +type(scope)!: subject +``` + +- `type`: the type of the commit is one of the following: + + - `feat`: new features. + - `fix`: bug fixes. + - `docs`: documentation changes. + - `refactor`: refactor of a particular code section without introducing + new features or bug fixes. + - `style`: code style improvements. + - `perf`: performance improvements. + - `test`: changes to the test suite. + - `ci`: changes to the CI system. + - `build`: changes to the build system (we don't yet have one so this shouldn't apply). + - `chore`: for other changes that don't match previous types. This doesn't appear + in the changelog. + +- `scope`: section of the codebase that the commit makes changes to. If it makes changes to + many sections, or if no section in particular is modified, leave blank without the parentheses. + Examples: + + - Commit that changes the `git` plugin: + ``` + feat(git): add alias for `git commit` + ``` + + - Commit that changes many plugins: + ``` + style: fix inline declaration of arrays + ``` + + For changes to plugins or themes, the scope should be the plugin or theme name: + + - ✅ `fix(agnoster): commit subject` + - ❌ `fix(theme/agnoster): commit subject` + +- `!`: this goes after the `scope` (or the `type` if scope is empty), to indicate that the commit + introduces breaking changes. + + Optionally, you can specify a message that the changelog tool will display to the user to indicate + what's changed and what they can do to deal with it. You can use multiple lines to type this message; + the changelog parser will keep reading until the end of the commit message or until it finds an empty + line. + + Example (made up): + + ``` + style(agnoster)!: change dirty git repo glyph + + BREAKING CHANGE: the glyph to indicate when a git repository is dirty has + changed from a Powerline character to a standard UTF-8 emoji. You can + change it back by setting `ZSH_THEME_DIRTY_GLYPH`. + + Fixes #420 + + Co-authored-by: Username <email> + ``` + +- `subject`: a brief description of the changes. This will be displayed in the changelog. If you need + to specify other details, you can use the commit body, but it won't be visible. + + Formatting tricks: the commit subject may contain: + + - Links to related issues or PRs by writing `#issue`. This will be highlighted by the changelog tool: + ``` + feat(archlinux): add support for aura AUR helper (#9467) + ``` + + - Formatted inline code by using backticks: the text between backticks will also be highlighted by + the changelog tool: + ``` + feat(shell-proxy): enable unexported `DEFAULT_PROXY` setting (#9774) + ``` + +### Style + +Try to keep the first commit line short. It's harder to do using this commit style but try to be +concise, and if you need more space, you can use the commit body. Try to make sure that the commit +subject is clear and precise enough that users will know what changed by just looking at the changelog. + +---- + +## Volunteer + +Very nice!! :) + +Please have a look at the [Volunteer](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Volunteers) +page for instructions on where to start and more. |
