## Opening a bug or feature request
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you encounter a bug, misfeature, or missing feature in GTK, please
|
||
|
|
file a bug report on our [GitLab project](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/new).
|
||
|
|
You should also file issues if the documentation is out of date with the
|
||
|
|
existing API, or unclear.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't hesitate to file a bug report, even if you think we may know
|
||
|
|
about it already, or aren't sure of the details. Just give us as much
|
||
|
|
information as you have, and if it's already fixed or has already been
|
||
|
|
discussed, we'll add a note to that effect in the report.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The issue tracker should definitely be used for feature requests, it's
|
||
|
|
not only for bugs. We track all GTK development in GitLab, to ensure
|
||
|
|
that nothing gets lost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Working on GTK
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you develop a bugfix or enhancement for GTK, please open a merge
|
||
|
|
request in GitLab as well. You should not attach patches to an issue,
|
||
|
|
or describe the fix as a comment. Merge requests allow us to build
|
||
|
|
GTK with your code applied, and run the test suite, on multiple platforms
|
||
|
|
and architectures, and verify that nothing breaks. They also allow us to
|
||
|
|
do proper code reviews, so we can iterate over the changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should follow the [contribution guide](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
||
|
|
for GTK, available on GitLab.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to discuss your approach before or after working on it,
|
||
|
|
good ways to contact the GTK developers, apart from GitLab issues,
|
||
|
|
are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the gtk tag on the [GNOME Discourse instance](https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/gtk)
|
||
|
|
- the `#gtk:gnome.org` Matrix room
|
||
|
|
- the `#gtk` IRC channel on `irc.libera.chat`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should not send patches by email, as they will inevitably get lost,
|
||
|
|
or forgotten. Always open a merge request.
