# Contributing to Recline
We welcome patches and pull requests. There are a few guidelines.
## General
* Please run the tests :-) (see below)
* Please do **not** build the dist files (e.g. dist/recline.js) when submitting
patches. dist files will get built automatically and if they are part of a
patch or pull request it makes them harder to review and more likely to
conflict.
* If possible have an issue to which the commits can relate. You can reference
an issue in the commits by just including #{issue-number} somewhere in the
commit message). Note if no issue exists suggest creating one.
## For larger changes
* Cleanup your code and affected code parts
* Run the tests from `/test/index.html` in different browsers (at least Chrome and FF)
* Update the documentation and tutorials where necessary
* Update `/_includes/recline-deps.html` if you change required files (e.g. leaflet libraries)
* Try to build the demos in `/demos/` with jekyll and then check out the `/demos/multiview/` which utilizes most aspects of Recline
You will also probably want to take a quick look at outline of the architecture which can be found in the [documentation online](http://okfnlabs.org/recline).
## Running tests
Run the tests by opening `test/index.html` in your browser.
## Demos and Documentation
Note that the demos and documentation utilize the [jekyll templating
system][jekyll] and to use them *locally* you will need to build them using
jekyll. Once installed, all you need to do from the command line is run jekyll:
jekyll serve
or if you're actively developing and want auto-reloading:
jekyll serve --watch
