<div id="contributing-to-httr" class="section level1">

<p>This outlines how to propose a change to httr. For more detailed info about contributing to this, and other tidyverse packages, please see the <a href="https://rstd.io/tidy-contrib" class="external-link"><strong>development contributing guide</strong></a>.</p>
<div class="section level2">
<h2 id="fixing-typos">Fixing typos<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#fixing-typos"></a></h2>
<p>You can fix typos, spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors in the documentation directly using the GitHub web interface, as long as the changes are made in the <em>source</em> file. This generally means you’ll need to edit <a href="https://roxygen2.r-lib.org/articles/roxygen2.html" class="external-link">roxygen2 comments</a> in an <code>.R</code>, not a <code>.Rd</code> file. You can find the <code>.R</code> file that generates the <code>.Rd</code> by reading the comment in the first line.</p>
</div>
<div class="section level2">
<h2 id="bigger-changes">Bigger changes<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#bigger-changes"></a></h2>
<p>If you want to make a bigger change, it’s a good idea to first file an issue and make sure someone from the team agrees that it’s needed. If you’ve found a bug, please file an issue that illustrates the bug with a minimal <a href="https://www.tidyverse.org/help/#reprex" class="external-link">reprex</a> (this will also help you write a unit test, if needed).</p>
<div class="section level3">
<h3 id="pull-request-process">Pull request process<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#pull-request-process"></a></h3>
<ul><li><p>Fork the package and clone onto your computer. If you haven’t done this before, we recommend using <code>usethis::create_from_github("r-lib/httr", fork = TRUE)</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Install all development dependences with <code>devtools::install_dev_deps()</code>, and then make sure the package passes R CMD check by running <code>devtools::check()</code>. If R CMD check doesn’t pass cleanly, it’s a good idea to ask for help before continuing.</p></li>
<li><p>Create a Git branch for your pull request (PR). We recommend using <code>usethis::pr_init("brief-description-of-change")</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Make your changes, commit to git, and then create a PR by running <code>usethis::pr_push()</code>, and following the prompts in your browser. The title of your PR should briefly describe the change. The body of your PR should contain <code>Fixes #issue-number</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>For user-facing changes, add a bullet to the top of <code>NEWS.md</code> (i.e. just below the first header). Follow the style described in <a href="https://style.tidyverse.org/news.html" class="external-link uri">https://style.tidyverse.org/news.html</a>.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<div class="section level3">
<h3 id="code-style">Code style<a class="anchor" aria-label="anchor" href="#code-style"></a></h3>
<ul><li><p>New code should follow the tidyverse <a href="https://style.tidyverse.org" class="external-link">style guide</a>. You can use the <a href="https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=styler" class="external-link">styler</a> package to apply these styles, but please don’t restyle code that has nothing to do with your PR.</p></li>
<li><p>We use <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=roxygen2" class="external-link">roxygen2</a>, with <a href="https://roxygen2.r-lib.org/articles/rd-formatting.html" class="external-link">Markdown syntax</a>, for documentation.</p></li>
<li><p>We use <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/package=testthat" class="external-link">testthat</a> for unit tests. Contributions with test cases included are easier to accept.</p></li>
</ul></div>
