## Contributing changes

_Prior to opening a pull request, it is recommended to open an issue first to ensure the maintainers can review intended changes. Exceptions to this rule include fixing non-functional source such as code comments, documentation or other supporting files._

Proposing source code changes is done through GitHub's standard pull request workflow.

|

If your branch is a work-in-progress then please start by creating your pull requests as draft, by clicking the down-arrow next to the `Create pull request` button and instead selecting `Create draft pull request`.

### Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
A good pull request includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- A high-level description of the changes, including links to any issues that are related by adding comments like `Resolves #NNN` to your description. See [Linking a Pull Request to an Issue](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue) for more information.
|
||||
- An up-to-date parent commit. Please make sure you are pulling in the latest `main` branch and rebasing your work on top of it, i.e. `git rebase main`.
|
||||
- Unit tests where appropriate. Bug fixes will benefit from the addition of regression tests. New features will not be accepted without suitable test coverage!
|
||||
- No more commits than necessary. Sometimes having multiple commits is useful for telling a story or isolating changes from one another, but please squash down any unnecessary commits that may just be for clean-up, comments or small changes.
|
||||
- No additional external dependencies that aren't absolutely essential. Please do everything you can to avoid pulling in additional libraries/dependencies into `go.mod` as we will be very critical of these.

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
You should use `go_test.mod` to manage your testing dependencies. Please use the following command to update your
|
||||
dependencies and avoid changing the main `go.mod` in a PR:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
go mod tidy -modfile=go_test.mod
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To the tests you can pass `-modfile=go_test.mod` flag to `go test` or instead you can also set `GOFLAGS="-modfile=go_test.mod"` as an environment variable:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
go test ./... -modfile=go_test.mod
|
||||
```
