# Introduction

### Welcome!

First off, thank you for considering contributing to Homer!

### Project philosophy

Homer is meant to be a light and very simple dashboard that keeps all your usefull utilities at hands. The few features implemented in Homer focus on
UX and usability. If you are looking for a full featured dashboard, there is tons of great stuff out there like https://heimdall.site/, https://github.com/rmountjoy92/DashMachine or https://organizr.app/.

- Configuration is stored in a simple config file, avoiding the need for a backend/database while making possible to use versionning or [config template](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_templating.html).
- Only modern browsers are supported, feel free to use any JS features without any polyfill as soon as the latest version of the major browsers supports them.

### Roadmap

If you want to know more about the project direction or looking for something to work on, checkout the [roadmap](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer#Roadmap)!
Feel free to open an issue if you have any question.

# Ground Rules

### Code of conduct and guidelines

First of all, we expect everyone (contributors and maintainers alike) to respect the [Code of conduct](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). It is not a recomandation, it is mandatory.

For all contributions, please respect the following guidelines:

* Each pull request should implement ONE feature or bugfix. If you want to add or fix more than one thing, submit more than one pull request.
* Do not commit changes to files that are irrelevant to your feature or bugfix (eg: `.gitignore`).
* Do not add unnecessary dependencies.
* Be aware that the pull request review process is not immediate, and is generally proportional to the size of the pull request.

# Getting started

### Discuss about ideas

If you want to add a feature, it's often best to talk about it before starting working on it and submitting a pull request. It's not mandatory at all, but
feel free to open an issue to present your idea.

### How to submit a contribution

The general process to submit a contribution is as follow:
1. Create your own fork of the code
2. Do the changes in your fork
3. Make sure to fill the [pull request description](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) properly.

### Happy coding :metal:
