First, thanks for your interest in contributing to Echidna! We welcome and appreciate all contributions, including bug reports, feature suggestions, tutorials/blog posts, and code improvements.
If you're unsure where to start, we recommend to join our chat room
(in the #ethereum channel) to discuss new ideas to improve this tool. You can also take a look at the help wanted
issue labels.
Bug reports and feature suggestions can be submitted to our issue
tracker. For bug reports,
attaching the contract that caused the bug will help us in debugging and
resolving the issue quickly. If you find a security
vulnerability, do not open an issue; email [email protected]
instead.
Questions can be submitted to the issue tracker, but you may get a faster response if you ask in our chat room (in the #ethereum channel).
Echidna uses the pull request contribution model. Please make an account on Github, fork this repo, and submit code contributions via pull request. For more documentation, look here.
Some pull request guidelines:
- Minimize irrelevant changes (formatting, whitespace, etc) to code that would otherwise not be touched by this patch. Save formatting or style corrections for a separate pull request that does not make any semantic changes.
- When possible, large changes should be split up into smaller focused pull requests.
- Fill out the pull request description with a summary of what your patch does, key changes that have been made, and any further points of discussion, if applicable.
- Title your pull request with a brief description of what it's changing. "Fixes #123" is a good comment to add to the description, but makes for an unclear title on its own.
- We use a "CodeClimate" verification check in every PR to make sure the code merged is tidy and easy to understand.
