The following guidelines are meant to provide a general basis
for the behavior expected of tldr-pages maintainers:
## I. Responding to contributions
- When responding to issues or pull requests,
remember that you're temporarily the face of the tldr-pages project.
**Be welcoming and friendly**, and if you don't know how to answer,
ping other maintainers who you think might have a say.
- Although push access allows committing directly to the repository,
plase **create pull requests for all of your changes**,
except the simplest ones (e.g. typo fixes).
This ensures that the entire process other contributors go through
is exposed to maintainers,
who can then identify and address bottlenecks or inconveniences.
Similarly, **avoid merging your own PRs**.
- **Every new discussion should receive a response within 3 days (ideally)**.
You can respond yourself
or ask other members to provide their thoughts/opinions.
- When merging PRs, use the strategy that produces a **clean git history**:
Use squash if there's a single commit in the PR,
or if the multiple commits are not independent changes.
If the PR author took the time to craft individual,
informative commit messages for each commit,
use rebase to honor that work and preserve the history of the changes.
A simple heuristic to follow is that if there are more "dirty" commits
than "clean" commits, then prefer squash, else do a rebase.
- **Know when and how to say no**.
Sometimes requests or contributions need to be declined,
at least in their current form.
