Contributing

Instructions for contributors

In order to make a clone of the GitHub repo: open the link and press the "Fork" button on the upper-right menu of the web page.

I hope everybody knows how to work with git and github nowadays :)

Workflow is pretty straightforward:

1. Clone the GitHub repo using the --recurse-submodules argument
2. Setup your machine with the required development environment
3. Make a change
4. Make sure all tests passed
5. Add a file into the CHANGES folder, named after the ticket or PR number
6. Commit changes to your own aiohttp clone
7. Make a pull request from the github page of your clone against the master branch
8. Optionally make backport Pull Request(s) for landing a bug fix into released aiohttp versions.
