NewPipe contribution guidelines

READ THIS GUIDELINES CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTRIBUTING.

Crash reporting

Do not report crashes in the GitHub issue tracker. NewPipe has an automated crash report system that will ask you to send a report if a crash occures.

Issue reporting/feature request

  • Search the existing issues first to make sure your issue/feature hasn't been reported/requested before
  • Check if this issue/feature is already fixed/implemented in the repository
  • If you are an android/java developer you are always welcome to fix/implement an issue/a feature yourself

Bugfixing

  • If you want to help NewPipe getting bug free, you can send me a mail to tnp@newpipe.schabi.org to let me know that you intent to help, and than register at our sentry setup.

Translation

Code contribution

  • Do not bring nonfree software/binary blobs into the project (keep it google free)
  • Stick to f-droid contribution guidelines
