How to contribute to CoffeeScript

• Before you open a ticket or send a pull request, search for previous discussions about the same feature or issue. Add to the earlier ticket if you find one.

• Before sending a pull request for a feature, be sure to have tests.

• Use the same coding style as the rest of the codebase. If you’re just getting started with CoffeeScript, there’s a nice style guide.

• In your pull request, do not add documentation to index.html or re-build the minified coffeescript.js file. We’ll do those things before cutting a new release. You should, however, commit the updated compiled JavaScript files in lib.

• To get started, read the guides in the wiki:

  • Hacking on the CoffeeScript Compiler
  • How parsing works
  • Update the docs
