## Contributing

We value any contribution to ExAws.CloudSearch you can provide: a bug report,
a feature request, or code contributions. If there are larger-scale
contributions, see the [ExAws contributing guide][exaws-contributing].

Here are our guidelines for contributions:

- Changes _will not_ be accepted without tests.
- Match our coding style; we use [Credo][] and `mix format`.
- Use a thoughtfully named topic branch that contains your change. Rebase
  your commits into logical chunks as necessary.
- Use [quality commit messages][].
- Do not change the version number; when your patch is accepted and a release
  is made, the version will be updated at that point.
- Submit a GitHub pull request with your changes.

### Workflow

Here's the most direct way to get your work merged into the project:

- Fork the project.
- Clone down your fork (`git clone git://github.com/<username>/ex_aws_cloud_search.git`).
- Create a topic branch to contain your change (`git checkout -b my_awesome_feature`).
- Hack away, add tests. Not necessarily in that order.
- Make sure everything still passes with `mix test`.
- Make sure the code is clean with `mix credo --strict`.
- Make sure your code is formatted with `mix format`.
- If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors.
- Push the branch up (`git push origin my_awesome_feature`).
- Create a pull request against `KineticCafe/ex_aws_cloud_search` and
  describe your change does and the why you think it should be merged.
