We love contributions! We've compiled this documentation to help you understand our contributing guidelines. If you still have questions, please contact us and we'd be happy to help!
Please read CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
before contributing.
We use Git to version control the source code. Please read the GDS Way for details on
Git best practice. This includes how to write good commit messages, use
git rebase
for local branches and git merge --no-ff
for merges, as well as using
git push --force-with-lease
instead of git push -f
.
Our source code is stored on GitHub at
https://github.com/NHSDigital/open-data-standards. Pull
requests into main
require at least one approved review.
Local links can be written as normal, but external links should be referenced at the bottom of the Markdown file for clarity. For example:
Use a local link to reference the [`README.md`](./README.md) file, but an external link
for [GOV.UK][gov-uk].
[gov-uk]: https://www.gov.uk/
