# Contributing to Codon
Thank you for considering contributing to Codon! This document contains some helpful information for getting started.
The best place to ask questions or get feedback is [our Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/exaloop/shared_invite/zt-1jusa4kc0-T3rRWrrHDk_iZ1dMS8s0JQ).
## Development workflow
All development is done on the [`develop`](https://github.com/exaloop/codon/tree/develop) branch. Just before release,
we bump the version number, merge into [`master`](https://github.com/exaloop/codon/tree/master) and tag the build with
a tag of the form `vX.Y.Z` where `X`, `Y` and `Z` are the [SemVer](https://semver.org) major, minor and patch numbers,
respectively. Our CI build process automatically builds and deploys tagged commits as a new GitHub release.
## Coding standards
All C++ code should be formatted with [ClangFormat](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) using the `.clang-format`
file in the root of the repository.
## Writing tests
Tests are written as Codon programs. The [`test/core/`](https://github.com/exaloop/codon/tree/master/test/core) directory
contains some examples. If you add a new test file, be sure to add it to
[`test/main.cpp`](https://github.com/exaloop/codon/blob/master/test/main.cpp) so that it will be executed as part of the test
suite. There are two ways to write tests for Codon:
#### New style
Example:
```python
@test
def my_test():
assert 2 + 2 == 4
my_test()
```
**Semantics:** `assert` statements in functions marked `@test` are not compiled to standard assertions: they don't terminate
the program when the condition fails, but instead print source information, fail the test, and move on.
#### Old style
Example:
```python
print(2 + 2) # EXPECT: 4
```
**Semantics:** The source file is scanned for `EXPECT`s, executed, then the output is compared to the "expected" output. Note
that if you have, for example, an `EXPECT` in a loop, you will need to duplicate it however many times the loop is executed.
Using `EXPECT` is helpful mainly in cases where you need to test control flow, **otherwise prefer the new style**.
## Pull requests
Pull requests should generally be based on the `develop` branch. Before submitting a pull request, please make sure...
- ... to provide a clear description of the purpose of the pull request.
- ... to include tests for any new or changed code.
- ... that all code is formatted as per the guidelines above.
Please be patient with pull request reviews, as our throughput is limited.
