Hi there! We're thrilled that you'd like to contribute to this project: https://github.com/HewlettPackard/hpegl-metal-os-esxi-iso. Your help is essential for keeping it great.
This guide provides information on filing issues and guidelines for open source contributors. Please leave comments / suggestions if you find something is missing or incorrect.
If you have questions, feedback or concerns please let us know ([email protected]).
You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.
Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans with the targeted project/repo through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.
-
If you want to contribute design assets or style guide revisions, please open a GitHub pull request or open a GitHub issue against the particular project.
-
If you want to raise an issue such as a defect or an enhancement request, please open a GitHub issue for the appropriate project. Please keep the following in mind:
- Try to reduce your code to the bare minimum required to reproduce the issue.
- If we can't reproduce the issue, we can't fix it. Please list the exact steps required to reproduce the issue.
If you have suggestions for how this project could be improved, or want to report a bug, open an issue! We'd love all and any contributions. If you have questions, too, we'd love to hear them.
It is a great way to contribute to hpegl-metal-os-esxi-iso by reporting an issue. Well-written and complete bug reports are always welcome! Please open an issue on GitHub and follow the template to fill in required information.
