## Contribution Guidelines

- Do not add files with personal, private data.

- Initially, we try to stay close to the "Public ITS" distribution.

- A pull request should address one, and only one, concern.  For
  example, adding a program or bug fix.

- Individual commits within a pull request should consist of atomic
  changes.  A single commit should neither be in a partial state, nor
  should it contain multiple unrelated changes that could be split
  into separate commits.

- Add or update documentation in the pull request.  That includes both
  README files in the repository, and files put into the ITS disk
  image.

  If you add a new program, update doc/programs.md.

- Do use the git history rewriting operations to modify pull request.

- Prefix temporary branch names with your username and `/`.  Users in
  the PDP-10 group can make branches in the repository if they like.

- When making a major change to a versioned ITS file, rename the file
  and increase the version number.  Do not keep the old version.  This
  way, it's easier to see the diff in the revision log.

- Users in the PDP-10 group can merge pull requests themselves.
  However, please wait for someone to make a review and approve the
  changes.  You can explicitly request a review from someone in the
  group.
