# Contributing to the Lubuntu Manual
|
||||
|
||||
Contributing to the Lubuntu Manual is simple and easy to do if you know how
|
||||
to do it. This guide is meant to show how to contribute to the Lubuntu Manual.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tools needed
|
||||
|
||||
Before starting, you need a few tools.
|
||||
|
||||
- A modern, Debian-based Linux distribution
|
||||
- Debian Jessie (8.0) and onwards
|
||||
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and onwards
|
||||
- The following packages from your Linux distribution's repository:
|
||||
- `git`
|
||||
- `python3-sphinx`
|
||||
- The following packages from PyPI:
|
||||
- `sphinx_debootstrap_theme`
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting the code
|
||||
|
||||
To clone the repository, you can run this command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://git.launchpad.net/lubuntu-manual
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding a file to the manual
|
||||
|
||||
After setting up the tools, you should now be ready to start editing files.
|
||||
|
||||
If you look in the `source` directory, you should see some files. There's
|
||||
`index.rst`, which is the main page, and some directories and subdirectories
|
||||
that are numbers. Those are chapters of the book, and are listed in the
|
||||
`index.rst` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you want to create Chapter 20. In the `source` directory, create a
|
||||
directory titled `20`. In the `20` directory, create a file with the name of
|
||||
the chapter. Let's call this chapter `foo bar`. Create a file named
|
||||
`foo_bar.rst` in `20`. Edit that file however you want. When you are done,
|
||||
add this to `source/index.rst`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Contents
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
.. toctree::
|
||||
:maxdepth: 2
|
||||
:titlesonly:
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
20/foo_bar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then run `make clean && make html` and it should build successfully!
|
||||
|
||||
## Making changes and seeking your changes to be pulled
|
||||
|
||||
**Before you do the below, please update PROGRESS.md to reflect your changes.**
|
||||
|
||||
So let's say you make your changes. You like them and think they should be
|
||||
included in the mainline manual. Here's what you have to do:
|
||||
|
||||
First, tell Git to track the changes in the files you just modified:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git add foo bar source/baz
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then, commit the files:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git commit -am "I changed x in foo, y in bar, and z in baz"
|
||||
# For a multi-line commit:
|
||||
git commit -a
|
||||
# To only commit some files:
|
||||
git commit -m "I changed x in foo and y in bar" foo bar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To submit your code, either fork [Simon Quigley's mirror](https://github.com/tsimonq2/lubuntu-manual) and submit a pull
|
||||
request against that repository, or push to your Launchpad account and
|
||||
submit a merge request, both will be seen by someone with the permission to
|
||||
merge. Push to the following repository to be able to submit a merge proposal
|
||||
in Launchpad:
|
||||
```
|
||||
git push git+ssh://LPUSERNAME@git.launchpad.net/~LPUSERNAME/lubuntu-manual/+git/ADDITION
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Another option if you prefer would be to send patch mail to [lubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com](mailto:lubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com).
|
||||
This assumes you are already familiar with patch mail and you know how.
|
||||
Please prefix the subject with `[Lubuntu Manual Patch]` and we'll discuss the
|
||||
patch with you on the mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
**Please check for spelling mistakes and errors before submitting your
|
||||
merge proposal or pull request.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Specification/What is there to do?
|
||||
|
||||
In `Spec.pdf`, there is a description of items to be accomplished, and on
|
||||
`PROGRESS.md`, there is our status in completing that specification. Pick out
|
||||
something to do, but before you start, please indicate on the [lubuntu-devel
|
||||
mailing list](https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Lubuntu-devel) or on [#lubuntu-devel on freenode](https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/#lubuntu-devel) to state that you intend to
|
||||
complete what you have picked out. Please also look at `PROGRESS.md` to see
|
||||
what still needs to be completed.
