Documentation might be incomplete, or not clear enough, and it is always possible to improve it with better wording, pictures, photo, video,...
As the documentation is part of the source code, you can submit your improvements to the documentation by submitting a pull request (see below).
## Fix bugs, add functionalities and improve the code
You want to fix a bug, add a cool new functionality or improve the code? See *How to submit a pull request below*.
## Spread the word
Pinetime is a cool open source project that deserves to be know. Talk about it around you, on social networks, on your blog,... and let people know that we are working on an open-source firmware for a smartwatch!

- Write documentation related to your new feature is applicable;
- Create the pull-request and write a great description about it : what does your PR do, why, how,... Add pictures and video if possible;
- Wait for someone to review your PR and take part in the review process;
- You PR will eventually be merged :)

If you want to fix a bug, add a functionality or improve the code, you'll first need to create a branch from the **develop** branch (see [this page about the branching model](./branches.md)). This branch is called a feature branch, and you should choose a name that explains what you are working on (ex: "add-doc-about-contributions"). In this branch, **focus on only one topic, bug or feature**. For example, if you created this branch to work on the UI of a specific application, do not commit modifications about the SPI driver. If you want to work on multiple topics, create one branch per topic.
When your feature branch is ready, **make sure it actually works** and **do not forget to write documentation** about it if it's relevant.
I **strongly discourage to create a PR containing modifications that haven't been tested**. If, for any reason, you cannot test your modifications but want to publish them anyway, **please mention it in the description**. This way, other contributors might be willing to test it and provide feedbacks about your code.

This way, other contributors might be willing to test it and provide feedback about your code.
Also, before submitting your PR, check the coding style of your code against the **coding conventions** detailed below. This project also provides [clang-format](../.clang-format) and [clang-tidy](../.clang-tidy) configuration files. You can use them to ensure correct formatting of your code.
Do not forget to check the files you are going to commit and remove those who are not necessary (config files from your IDE, for example). Remove old comments, commented code,...
Then, you can submit a pull-request for review. Try to **describe your pull request as much as possible**: what did you do in this branch, how does it work, how is it designed, are there any limitations,... This will help the contributors to understand and review your code easily. You can add pictures and video to the description so that contributors will have a quick overview of you work.

Other contributors can post comments about the pull request, maybe ask for more info or adjustements in the code.

Once the pull request is reviewed an accepted, it'll be merge in **develop** and will be released in the next release version of the firmware.

## Why all these rules?
Reviewing pull-requests is a **very time consuming task** for the creator of this project ([JF002](https://github.com/JF002)) and for other contributors who take the time to review them. Every little thing you do to make their lifes easier will **increase the chances your PR will be merge quickly**.

When reviewing PR, the author and contributors will first look at the **description**. If it's easy to understand what the PR does, why the modification is needed or interesting and how it's done, a good part of the work is already done : we understand the PR and its context.

## Language
The language of this project is **C++**, and all new code must be written in C++. (Modern) C++ provides a lot of useful tools and functionalities that are beneficial for embedded software development like `constexpr`, `template` and anything that provides zero-cost abstraction.
It's OK to include C code if this code comes from another library like FreeRTOS, NimBLE, LVGL or the NRF-SDK.

## Coding style
The most important rule to follow is to try to keep the code as easy to read and maintain as possible.
