Contributing

Thanks for your interest in contributing to Pact Community projects. This is the organization-wide baseline; individual repositories may add their own CONTRIBUTING.md with project-specific build and test instructions.

Before you start

  • Questions / ideas: open a Discussion first.
  • Bugs: open an issue with the Bug Report template (clear repro steps).
  • Features / RFCs: open a Feature Request issue or Discussion. For anything large, please discuss before writing code — an accepted issue is not guaranteed, and unsolicited large PRs may not be merged.
  • Security: never open a public issue — see SECURITY.md.

Ground rules

  • Be respectful — see the Code of Conduct.
  • Keep changes focused and minimal; one logical change per PR.
  • Discuss design before large refactors.
  • Do not include secrets, credentials, or private keys in code, tests, or issues.
  • By contributing, you agree your contributions are licensed under the repository's license.

Pull request workflow

  1. Fork and create a branch: feature/<short-description> or bugfix/<short-description>.
  2. Follow the repository's coding and test conventions.
  3. Use Conventional Commits for commit messages.
  4. Ensure tests and CI pass locally where possible.
  5. Open the PR using the repository's PR template and fill it out completely.
  6. Respond to review feedback; keep the PR up to date with main.

Reviews & expectations

These are community, best-effort projects. Maintainers triage as capacity allows. Thoughtful, well-scoped, well-tested contributions are reviewed fastest. Thank you for helping improve the Pact ecosystem.
