## Raising issues
Please raise any bug reports on the relevant project's issue tracker. Be sure to
2014-02-08 16:31:01 +01:00
search the list to see if your issue has already been raised.
A good bug report is one that make it easy for us to understand what you were
trying to do and what went wrong.
Provide as much context as possible so we can try to recreate the issue.
If possible, include the relevant part of your flow. To do this, select the
relevant nodes, press Ctrl-E and copy the flow data from the Export dialog.

At a minimum, please include:
- Version of Node-RED - either release number if you downloaded a zip, or the first few lines of `git log` if you are cloning the repository directly.
2019-08-06 12:27:46 +02:00
- Version of Node.js - what does `node -v` say?

## Pull-Requests
2015-02-06 14:16:46 +01:00
If you want to raise a pull-request with a new feature, or a refactoring
of existing code, it may well get rejected if you haven't discussed it on
the [forum](https://discourse.nodered.org) first.

All contributors need to sign the JS Foundation's Contributor License Agreement.
It is an online process and quick to do. You can read the details of the agreement

### Code Branches
When raising a PR for a fix or a new feature, it is important to target the right branch.
- `master` - this is the main branch for the latest stable release of Node-RED. All bug fixes for that release should target this branch.
- `v1.x` - this is the maintenance branch for the 1.x stream. If a fix *only* applies to 1.x, then it should target this branch. If it applies to the current stable release as well, target `master` first. We will then decide if it needs to be back ported to the 1.x stream.
- `dev` - this is the branch for new feature development targeting the next milestone release.

### Coding standards
Please ensure you follow the coding standards used through-out the existing
code base. Some basic rules include:
- all files must have the Apache license in the header.
- indent with 4-spaces, no tabs. No arguments.
- opening brace on same line as `if`/`for`/`function` and so on, closing brace
on its own line.
