Openfish Contributing Guide ​

Authors: Scott Barnard

Hi there! 👋 We’re thrilled that you’re interested in contributing to OpenFish, our open-source project dedicated to classifying marine species.

Before diving in, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our guidelines. These will help streamline the contribution process and ensure a smooth collaboration. Here’s what you need to know:

Raising issues. ​

If you find a bug or want to request a feature, please raise an issue https://github.com/ausocean/openfish/issues.

For bugs, try to include any information that you think is helpful in describing the problem and ideally the steps you need to reproduce the issue. The better the information you include, the quicker it is likely to be fixed.

Use the labels document, bug and enhancement to categorize your issue.

Choosing an issue to work on. ​

Issues with the good first issue label are a good choice for your first contribution.
