Contributions are always welcome, but it is very important to understand the development process to make contributing simpler. This document will help you understand how to contribute changes to the Weex source code. Below are the recommended steps.
Weex uses JIRA to track all types of code changes and not just bug fixes. A JIRA ticket should be used to describe what should be fixed or modified and the high-level approach of how it will be fixed. We use Github pull requests to manage the review and merge specific code changes. Pull Requests describe how to implement that change in the project’s source code.
If you would like to create a new issue on JIRA, be sure to search the existing issues and see if someone has already reported the same. It helps in avoiding duplication. If your change may be controversial, you may want to create a discussion in the weex-dev mailing list.
Every pull request should correspond to an issue in JIRA.
Fork the Github repository at https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex.
Clone the forked repository and create a new branch from master to push your commits to.
Develop your feature or bug fix in your new branch. Make sure your code meets the style guidelines.

Documentation and tests should be added or referenced if they need to be added or updated as part of the change. Make sure to test your changes thoroughly.
Commit all the changes to your branch. Commit Guidelines must be followed for better understanding.
Open a pull request against the master branch of apache/incubator-weex. Make sure following guidelines are considered when creating a pull request.
[WEEX-xxxx][COMPONENT] Summary where xxxx is the relevant JIRA number and COMPONENT is one of the mentioned PR categories (android, iOS, jsfm, web, doc, website, example, test, other). Summary can be same as JIRA’s title or can also be a more specific title describing the PR itself.[WIP] after the component. This also means that the PR is not ready to be merged.It is easier to review small pull requests and those are more likely to get merged. Prefer to split the PR if it includes changes for more than one thing.
* operator goes with the variable name (e.g. Type *variable;)#pragma marks to categorize methods into functional groupings and protocol implementationsFollowing template should be used to write commit descriptions.
Summary of change, same as PR title: `[WEEX-xxxx][COMPONENT] Summary` Longer description of change addressing the following: Why the change is made, Context if it is part of many other changes, Description of previous behavior and newly introduced differences, etc. Long lines should be wrapped to 80 columns for easier log message viewing in terminals. Bug: 123456
A short subject and a blank line after the subject are crucial. Use the bug number from the JIRA issue.
