Contributions to Foundation are welcome! This project follows the contribution guidelines for the Swift project.
Please see the Foundation Evolution Process for any change that adds or modifies public API.
By submitting a pull request, you represent that you have the right to license your contribution to Apple and the community, and agree by submitting the patch that your contributions are licensed under the Swift license.
We are using GitHub Issues for tracking bugs, feature requests, and other work.
Before embarking on a large amount of work to implement missing functionality, please double-check with the community in the Swift Forums. Someone may already be working in this area, and we want to avoid duplication of work.
Each pull request will be reviewed by a code owner before merging.
- Pull requests should contain small, incremental change.
- Focus on one task. If a pull request contains several unrelated commits, we will ask for the pull request to be split up.
- Please squash work-in-progress commits. Each commit should stand on its own (including the addition of tests if possible). This allows us to bisect issues more effectively.
- After addressing review feedback, please rebase your commit so that we create a clean history in the
mainbranch.
All pull requests which contain code changes should come with a new set of automated tests, and every current test must pass on all supported platforms.
When adding methods, please add associated documentation using the DocC markdown syntax.
