Issues

Report issues and suggest features and improvements on the GitHub issue tracker. Don't ask questions on the issue tracker - use the support channels instead.

If you want to file a bug, please provide all the necessary info listed in our issue reporting template (it's loaded automatically when you create a new GitHub issue).

Patches

Patches in any form are always welcome! GitHub pull requests are even better! :-)

Before submitting a patch or a pull request make sure that your patch is in line with the contribution guidelines.

Documentation

Good documentation is just as important as good code. Please, consider improving and extending this manual.

Working on the Manual

The manual is generated from the markdown files in the docs folder of Prelude's GitHub repo and is published to Read the Docs. The MkDocs tool is used to convert the markdown sources to HTML.

To make changes to the manual you simply have to change the files under docs. The manual will be regenerated automatically when changes to those files are merged in master (or the latest stable branch).

You can install MkDocs locally and use the command mkdocs serve to see the result of changes you make to the manual locally:

$ cd path/to/prelude/repo
$ mkdocs serve

If you want to make changes to the manual's page structure you'll have to edit mkdocs.yml.

Donations

You can support the development of Prelude via GitHub Sponsors, PayPal and Patreon.
