Hey all 👋

Welcome to project ovuli. I will try to make this guide as simple as possible and will cover all aspect of this projects and way in which you guys can contribute.

How to work on an issue

Go in to the issues section and find the issue you are interested in.

How to submit work

1. You have to fork the repo

You can get your own fork/copy of ovuli by using the Fork button.

2. Then clone it locally

You need to clone (download) it to local machine using

$ git clone https://github.com/Your_Username/ovuli.git

This makes a local copy of repository in your machine.

Once you have cloned the ovuli repository in Github, move to that folder first using change directory command on linux and Mac.

# This will change directory to a folder ovuli
$ cd ovuli

Move to this folder for all other commands.

To install dependencies

expo start

3. Next create new branch in your repo

Whenever you are going to make contribution. Please create seperate branch using command and keep your master branch clean (i.e. synced with remote branch).

# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and will switch to that branch 
$ git checkout -b Branch_Name

4. Start working on the issue

To add the changes to the branch. Use

$ git add .

To commit type in a message relevant for the code reveiwer using

Finally, go to your repository in browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your precious effort.

Ways to contribute

I know not everyone has their grasp on React Native yet but there are multiple ways to contribute in this project.

Design: If you feel like that your Design sense is awesome. This section is for you, we are using figma to create deisgn. All the wireframes will be uploaded in wireframes folder.
Documentation / Wiki: Documentation is very important aspect of any open source project and it is for this project as well. You might learn a lot while writing about it.
Language Translation: We are not using google translator to be precise. Also the language conversion will be only for UI elements. Feel free to add your own language. We will be storing this info in languageBase folder.
Report Issues: I consider this as one of the most important tasks. Follow the steps mention is upcomming section.
Code: Last but not least you can code the feature or fix a bug to make it flawless. There are two ways you can do that
- HTML & CSS: We are using Atomic Design System so you can even just design and button by changing it's color and still have a big impact of the over all platform.
- React Native: You can go into the screens and start writing react code to complete feature or fix the bug.

👉 Whatever you choose first contact me @sarthology.
