Contributing

Having trouble working with the theme? Found a typo in the documentation? Interested in adding a feature or fixing a bug? Then by all means submit an issue or pull request. If this is your first pull request, it may be helpful to read up on the GitHub Flow first.

Minimal Mistakes has been designed as a base for you to customize and fit your site’s unique needs. Please keep this in mind when requesting features and/or submitting pull requests. If it’s not something that most people will use, I probably won’t consider it. When in doubt ask.

This goes for author sidebar links and “share button” additions – I have no intention of merging in every possibly option, the essentials are there to get you started :smile:.

Pull Requests

When submitting a pull request:

  1. Clone the repo.
  2. Create a branch off of master and give it a meaningful name (e.g. my-awesome-new-feature) and describe the feature or fix.
  3. Open a pull request on GitHub.

Theme documentation and demo pages can be found in the /docs folder if you’d like to tackle any “low-hanging fruit” like fixing typos, bad grammar, etc.
