  4. Make changes and commit: Make your changes, write code, fix bugs, or add new features. Commit your changes with clear and descriptive commit messages:

    git commit -m 'Add new feature'

  5. Push changes:

    Push your changes to your fork on GitHub:

    git push origin feature/new-feature

  6. Create a pull request: Visit the original NexusTimer repository on GitHub and click the "New Pull Request" button. Provide a detailed description of your changes in the pull request, and our team will review your contribution.

Contribution Guidelines

  • Ensure your code follows the project's coding standards and conventions.
  • Keep your pull request concise and focused on a single issue or feature.
  • Provide clear and informative commit messages.
  • Be open to feedback and engage in discussions to improve your contribution.
  • Respect the project maintainers and other contributors.

Clean code features

Please consider contributing to one of the following clean code features by checking the box:

  • Feature: Refactor Component Structure

    • Description: Review and refactor the component structure to follow a consistent pattern, such as container/presentation or atomic design. Consistent component structures improve code organization and maintainability.

  • Feature: Implement Design Patterns

    • Description: Identify areas where design patterns (e.g., Singleton, Observer, Factory) can be applied to improve code structure and reusability. Design patterns help solve common design problems efficiently.

  • Feature: Code Cleanup

    • Description: Conduct a thorough code cleanup to remove unused code, optimize imports, and ensure code consistency. A clean codebase is easier to read and maintain.

  • Feature: Performance Optimization

    • Description: Profile and optimize performance bottlenecks in the code, such as database queries or rendering. Performance improvements lead to faster response times and a better user experience.

  • Feature: Documentation and Comments

    • Description: Add missing documentation and comments to clarify code intent and usage. Well-documented code is more accessible to developers and helps with onboarding.

  • Feature: Testing Infrastructure

    • Description: Enhance the testing infrastructure to include unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests for critical parts of the application. Comprehensive testing ensures code reliability.

  • Feature: Dependency Management

    • Description: Review and update dependencies to ensure they are up to date and compatible with each other. Keeping dependencies current reduces security risks and improves stability.

  • Feature: Code Review Guidelines

    • Description: Establish and document code review guidelines to ensure that code quality and architectural patterns are consistently maintained. Code reviews become more effective and structured.

  • Feature: Automated Code Quality Checks

    • Description: Implement automated code quality checks using tools like ESLint, Prettier, and linters. Automated checks enforce coding standards and catch issues early in the development process.

  • Feature: Codebase Modularization

    • Description: Break down the codebase into modular components or microservices, promoting separation of concerns and scalability.

  • Feature: Codebase Analysis Tools

    • Description: Integrate code analysis tools to detect code smells, complexity issues, and security vulnerabilities. These tools help identify areas for improvement.

  • Feature: Performance Monitoring

    • Description: Implement performance monitoring tools to track application performance in real-time and identify areas for optimization.

  • Feature: Scalability Planning

    • Description: Develop a plan for application scalability, considering factors like load balancing, caching, and database scaling. Scalability ensures the application can handle growth.

Feel free to choose a feature that interests you, and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification in the issue discussions. Thank you for considering contributing to our project!
