You can create an issue for the following purposes:

You can typically create an issue directly through the GitHub web page. Here, you'll find various templates to guide your issue submission.

issue templates

If you're able to address the issue yourself, we encourage you to take the initiative. When creating an issue, you can indicate your willingness to resolve it. For bug reports, select the option “I'd be willing to fix this issue myself” in the BUG template. For feature requests, select “I'd be willing to contribute this feature myself” in the Feature Request template.

- [ ] I'd be willing to contribute this feature myself

Alternatively, you can submit your issue through the Conflux Documentation Issue Form. If your submission is approved, it will be created on the GitHub repository.

Create a Pull Request

Contributing to projects through a pull request (PR) is a valuable way to improve existing documentation or code. This guide will walk you through the process step by step, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding, especially for those new to GitHub and git operations.

For complex operations, you can also check the closed pull requests for grammar reference. For example,

      • Edit this page
  2. Forking the Repository:

    • You'll be redirected to GitHub, where you might see a prompt saying, "You need to fork this repository to propose changes." Click "Fork this repository".
      • Fork this repository
  3. Making Edits:

    • Once in the editor mode, make the necessary changes. After editing, scroll to the bottom where you'll find the "Commit changes" section. Fill in a brief description of your changes, then click "Propose changes".
  4. Submitting the Pull Request:

    • After proposing changes, you'll be directed to a new page to initiate the pull request. Click "Create pull request". Double-check the changes and fill in any additional information if necessary, then finalize by clicking "Create pull request" again.

Local Development for Substantial Changes

tip

Refer to Github's tutorial if you are not familiar with git or Github operations.

For more significant contributions like adding a new page or extensive revisions:

  1. Setting Up:

    • Ensure you have node.js (version >= 18) and yarn installed.
    • Fork and clone the documentation repository. Detailed instructions for forking and cloning are available on GitHub's help pages.
  2. Making Changes Locally:

    • Run yarn && yarn start in your terminal to preview the site at http://localhost:3000.
    • Navigate to the docs/** folder in your cloned repository to make changes. Refresh your local server to see updates.
  3. Submitting Your Changes:

    • After making changes, run yarn build to ensure everything compiles correctly.
    • Commit your changes with a meaningful message, then push to your forked repository. Initiate a pull request on GitHub by comparing your branch to the original repository.

Working on an Existing Issue

To avoid overlapping efforts and streamline contributions, it is suggested to follow these steps:

  1. Check for Accepted Issues:

    • Look for issues labeled "ACCEPTED" or similarly indicating readiness for contributions. If unsure, ask in the issue comments.
  2. Announce Your Intentions:

    • Comment on the issue stating that you are working on it. This helps prevent duplicate efforts.
  3. (Optional)Link Your Contributions:

    • When committing your changes, reference the issue number in your commit message, e.g., fix: typo. Ref #123456.

Provide Translation

note

A translation pull request in the Github repo will NOT be accepted.

We are using Crowdin for document translation integration. Crowdin helps us to know whether translation strings are outdated after the source files are changed. Anyone can submit translation strings in Crowdin, and translation strings will be pushed to Github repo after they are reviewed.

Crowdin Tutorial

Visit our project page on Crowdin at either https://crowdin.com/project/conflux or https://zh.crowdin.com/project/conflux and select the language you wish to translate.

languages

You will be able to select a file to begin translating.

files

In order to edit, you will need to be logged in. No need to fret though, you can easily log in with your Github account by clicking a few buttons.

login

Once you are in, you can start the translation process! Simply click on a source string on the left-hand panel and input the translation or edited string. Remember to click SAVE and wait for your translation to be reviewed.

Once reviewed, the translation string will be pushed to the Github repository and you can visit your translation on the official documentation site.
