## i3status/i3lock bug reports and feature requests
|
|
|
|
Note that bug reports and feature requests for related projects should be filed in the corresponding repositories for [i3status](https://github.com/i3/i3status) and [i3lock](https://github.com/i3/i3lock).
|
|
|
|
## i3 bug reports and feature requests
|
|
|
|
1. Read the [debugging instructions](https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html).
|
|
2. Make sure you include a link to your logfile in your report (section 3).
|
|
3. Make sure you include the i3 version number in your report (section 1).
|
|
4. Please be aware that we cannot support compatibility issues with
|
|
closed-source software, as digging into compatibility problems without
|
|
having access to the source code is too time-consuming. Additionally,
|
|
experience has shown that often, the software in question is responsible for
|
|
the issue. Please raise an issue with the software in question, not i3.
|
|
5. Please note that i3 does not support compositors (e.g. compton). If you
|
|
encountered the issue you are about to report while using a compositor,
|
|
please try reproducing it without a compositor.
|
|
|
|
## Pull requests
|
|
|
|
* Before sending a pull request for new features, please check with us that the
|
|
feature is something we want to see in i3 by opening an issue which has
|
|
”feature request” or ”enhancement” in its title.
|
|
* Use the `next` branch for developing and sending your pull request.
|
|
* Use `clang-format` to format your code.
|
|
* Run the [testsuite](https://i3wm.org/docs/testsuite.html)
|
|
|
|
## Finding something to do
|
|
|
|
* Find a [reproducible bug](https://github.com/i3/i3/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+label%3Areproducible+label%3Abug+) from the issue tracker. These issues have been reviewed and confirmed by a project contributor.
|
|
* Find an [accepted enhancement](https://github.com/i3/i3/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+label%3Aaccepted+label%3Aenhancement) from the issue tracker. These have been approved and are ok to start working on.

|
|
There's a very good [overview of the codebase](https://i3wm.org/docs/hacking-howto.html) available to get you started.
