In order to contribute, you will need to install VariantValidator. Please see our Installation manual and pay attention the Developers section
Once you have installed VariantValidator and the necessary databases, checkout the develop branch and create your own working branch from there.
Do not create working branches from Master. All pull requests into master will be refused.
VariantValidator is a community driven tool. Everything we build attempts to serve a community need and we work with the community to ensure all our resources sufficiently funtional and suitable. Before you develop new code, please open an Issue so users can be invited to contribute to the design and "sign-off" on your work. Additional guidance regarding contributions will also be provided in the issue.
We use continuous integration. Please ensure you add test files to out unit-tests. Guidance and assistance will be provided in the Issue you opened
Once you have completed your code, please commit to your working branch. Provide a link to the commit in the Issue you opened and close the issue so Admin will be aware that you are finished. We will then work with you to merge the code into develop and ultimately into the master branch.
