## Contributing
If you are interested in contributing to the project the first step should be to contact me so we can plan together the best approach, you can send an e-mail or just open an issue in this repo. For small bug fixes it is usually ok to open a PR directly.
Contributions are not restricted to coding; you can help the project by bringing new UI/UX ideas, designing new assets, writing manuals or tutorials, translating the apps, etc. If you are interested in DevOps, YACReader uses Azure Pipelines for CI/CD, any improvements in that area are welcome. Testing pre-releases is also really appreciated.
#### Dev Setup
YACReader is developed in *c++/Qt*, so the first thing you need to do is to install a *C++* compiler or environment that supports at least *C++17* and *Qt*. In *Windows* I use *Visual Studio Community Edition 2019* as build system and in *macos* I use Xcode, but I do all the coding using *QtCreator*. The project support *Qt5* and *Qt6* at the moment so you need to make sure that everything works in both *Qt5* and *Qt6*, you only need to install one flavor of *Qt* and *CI* will check that everything builds with both, I recommend using *Qt6*.
The repo includes binaries for the dependencies needed for *Windows* (MSVC compiler) and *macos* (clang) but you need to configure *7zip* dependency manually, please take a look at *compressed_archive/README_7zip.txt*.
##### Running and debugging
YACReader needs to find its dependencies at runtime, make sure that *Qt* binaries are in your *PATH* and the third-party binaries are next to the executable. The best way to make sure you have all the third-party binaries in place is to check YACReader installation and copy the binaries in your output folder.
If you have the time and the energy, please open a PR with a script that automatizes any of these manual processes.
#### Code Format
YACReader uses `clang-format` to ensure a common style and avoid deviances from it. CI checks this and will fail if the correct format is not used. `clang-format` needs to be called recursively in all the folders because some of them have their own `.clang-format` file, mainly to exclude changing the format in third-party libraries which are included in the source code. I recommend configuring your development tools to use `clang-format`, you can try to use it manually, but please, do it always before committing changes. I recommend using QtCreator configured properly, you can find a tutorial [here]( https://www.vikingsoftware.com/using-clang-format-with-qtcreator/).
#### CI/CD
Any PR will be validated through CI, and it will not be merged if CI fails.
#### Pull Requests
The base and target branch for any PR should always be `develop`.
