Contribution guidelines
***********************

The FAIR Data Point repositories are open source and you can contribute via GitHub:

- https://github.com/FAIRDataTeam/FAIRDataPoint
- https://github.com/FAIRDataTeam/FAIRDataPoint-client
- https://github.com/FAIRDataTeam/FAIRDataPoint-Docs

To contribute, fork the relevant repository, create a new branch, make your changes, and `open a pull request <https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork>`_.

Developers with write access don't need to fork, but they do need to use a branch and pull-request workflow.

All changes must be made via pull requests in order to facilitate consistent auto-generated changelogs via `GitHub releases <https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository>`_.
