Abstract:

Contributing back to the EasyBuild community is very rewarding, but at the same time it can be a bit daunting, especially for first-time contributors. Here we provide a number of best practices and tips for getting your pull requests (PRs) merged as quickly and painless as possible. We show how maintainers review PRs, and how you can help taking work out of maintainers’ hands so they can get more PRs merged. A quick demo will be shown, and there will be lots of time for questions and discussion afterwards.
