## Contributing to Source Code

Thanks for wanting to contribute source code to ownCloud. That's great!

Before we're able to merge your code into the ownCloud app for Android, you need to sign our [Contributor Agreement][agreement].

### Guidelines
* Contribute your code in the branch 'develop'. It will give us a better chance to test your code before merging it with stable code.
* For your first contribution, start a pull request on develop and send us the signed [Contributor Agreement][agreement].
* Keep on using pull requests for your next contributions although you own write permissions.

[agreement]: http://owncloud.org/about/contributor-agreement/

### 1. Fork and download android/develop repository:

NOTE: You must have the git installation folder in your environment variable PATH to perform the next operations.

* In a web browser, go to https://github.com/owncloud/android, and click the 'Fork' button near the top right corner.
* In a command line prompt, clone your new repo: ```git clone git@github.com:YOURGITHUBNAME/android.git```.
* Move to the project folder with ```cd android```.
* Checkout the remote branch 'develop' in your own local branch: ```git checkout -b develop remotes/origin/develop```.
* Pull any changes from your remote branch 'develop': ```git pull origin develop```
* Make official ownCloud repo known as upstream: ```git remote add upstream git@github.com:owncloud/android.git```
* Make sure to get the latest changes from official android/develop branch: ```git pull upstream develop```


### 7. Create pull request:

NOTE: You must sign the [Contributor Agreement][1] before your changes can be accepted!

* Commit your changes locally: "git commit -a"
* Push your changes to your GitHub repo: "git push"
* Browse to https://github.com/YOURGITHUBNAME/android/pulls and issue pull request
* Click "Edit" and set "base:develop"
* Again, click "Edit" and set "compare:develop"
* Enter description and send pull request.

### 8. Create another pull request:

To make sure your new pull request does not contain commits which are already contained in previous PRs, create a new branch which is a clone of upstream/develop.

* git fetch upstream
* git checkout -b my_new_develop_branch upstream/develop
* If you want to rename that branch later: "git checkout -b my_new_develop_branch_with_new_name"
* Push branch to server: "git push -u origin name_of_local_develop_branch"
* Use GitHub to issue PR
