Contributing to Seedling

Thanks for your interest in contributing!

Getting Started

Fork the repository on GitHub
Clone your fork
Run go mod tidy to install dependencies
Run go build ./... to verify the build

Development Workflow

Create a feature branch from main
Write tests for new functionality
Ensure go vet ./... and go test ./... pass
Keep commits small and focused
Use conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, etc.)

Running Tests

go test -v -race -count=1 ./...

Code Style

Follow standard Go conventions (gofmt, golint)
Avoid external dependencies where possible
Public API changes should be discussed in an issue first

Pull Request Process

Ensure CI passes (lint, vet, build, test)
Request a review
Squash commits on merge
