The master branch's HEAD is the current legal constitution of CSH.
A compiled version of the document can be found here.
Do not make changes to master without their passing the proper house voting procedures. (At the very least, not text changes, anyways)
First, fork the consitution repo. Before making any changes, create a new git branch.
This helps us keep the constitution repo neat and is in general a good idea.
git checkout -b "branch_name"
A good branch name will briefly give an idea of what your changes have actually done.
Once you have made your changes, commit them with a proper commit message.
It is good practice to have an imperative clause in the subject line of your commit message.
Also, if your commit fixes any issues, put the issue number (with a # sign) in the commit body. ex: fixes #102
Also, be sure to rebase multiple commits into one before making a pull request.
One sentence, one line. In general, follow the pattern of the existing document.
Must have make, and pdflatex installed.
Installing dependencies on debian
sudo apt install texlive texlive-formats-extra make
Installing dependencies on fedora
sudo yum install texlive make
Once required software is installed, simply run make.
Running make will build and link the articles properly.
Review the PDF output to check for any errors before making a pull request.
If additional commits are made, be sure to rebase down to one commit before submitting a pull request.
To make contributing easier, there are templates for both issues and pull
requests. Please fill out the appropriate options in the description as you make
the pull request or issue so a maintainer can more easily help get your change
committed. If you are making a pull request, be sure to make a pull request against
origin/master from your own branch.
