Frequent Questions

Can I use Vitrina without contributing?

There is no requirement for contribution. Contributions are welcome and one of the incidental benefits is learning to be a good contributor. Our hope is that contributors will acquire the kind of habits that make their source code a joy to read.

What if I do want to contribute?

To contribute, bring a willingness to give credit where credit is due.

What are the requirements for contribution?

Ideally, to contribute, you should already have:

• Enough knowledge of git to clone, branch, push and request merge.

• Familiarity with pytest so that you can extend the tests to include your changes.

In practice, anyone with patience and diligence will get respect and attention.
