Contributing new features

  • To ensure that there are no conflicts when merging the branch into the main branch,
  • it is necessary to perform the following steps each time new development is going to be conducted on non-main branches:
  • git pull,
  • git rebase main
  • resolve conflicts before continuing the development.
  • After new features developed
  • git add .
  • git commit -m "feat(rbtree): features
  • feat(rbtree): needs to be replaced by the module you have modified
  • features must be replaced by the detailed description about the features you implemented
  • git push
  • click the New pull request on Github https://github.com/zrwusa/data-structure-typed/branches

Contributing New Data Structures

  • Make your pull requests to be specific and focused. Instead of contributing "several data structures" all at once contribute them all one by one separately (i.e. one pull request for "RBTree", another one for "AATree" and so on).
  • Modify README.md for each of the data structure with explanations of the algorithm and with links to further readings.
  • Describe what you do in code using comments.
