## Creating issues
|
||
|
||
Issues should be made by using the [issue tracker](https://github.com/cachethq/Cachet/issues).
|
||
|
||
Things to remember:
|
||
|
||
- Be descriptive
|
||
- Be respectful of others
|
||
|
||
## Coding Standards
|
||
|
||
Please follow existing coding standards:
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
<?php
|
||
|
||
namespace Foo\Bar\Controller;
|
||
|
||
use Foo\Bar\Bar;
|
||
|
||
class Foo extends Bar
|
||
{
|
||
public function baz()
|
||
{
|
||
if ($condition)
|
||
{
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- At least one newline seperating `namespace`, `use`, and `class` declarations
|
||
- Spaces around operators, loops, conditions and control blocks:
|
||
```php
|
||
if ($condition === (10 + 2))
|
||
{
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
- Braces on a new line.
|
||
- Line lengths have a soft 80 limit and hard 120 length.
|
||
- PHP constants should be in lowercase; `true`, `false` and `null`.
|
||
- Defined constants should always be in uppercase.
|
||
- Never leave trailing spaces at the end of a line.
|
||
- Files should end with one blank line.
|
||
- Do not use Bash (`#`) style comments.
|
||
|
||
If you're still unsure, then take a look at existing code.

## Introduction into to Git and GitHub
|
||
|
||
If you are new to git, GitHub, and the whole open source software community, welcome! Here are some resources for getting started and understanding what it's all about.
|
||
|
||
- [Try Git](https://try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1) by Code School
|
||
- [GitHub Help](https://help.github.com)
|
||
|
||
If you're not particularly fond of the command line, you can get one of GitHub's free GUI desktop apps:
|
||
|
||
- [GitHub for Mac](https://github.com/blog/1510-installing-git-from-github-for-mac)
|
||
- [GitHub for Windows](https://github.com/blog/1127-github-for-windows)
|
||
|
||
If you're feeling adventurous, you can become a Git & GitHub master with the [Git Path on Code School](https://www.codeschool.com/paths/git).
