Help With Programming
So, you want to get down and dirty with the SIRIUS Player code? Great!
Here's the basics:
- Go to the Code Repository.
- Fork the project (click the "fork" button).
- Download the project's code via git.
- Make all kinds of awesome changes.
- Commit all you want to your own fork of the project.
- Click "pull request" when you're ready for your code to be added to the project's repository.
- We'll review what you've done and pull your code into the project's repository.
- Eventually we'll release a beta or stable release with your code in it.
- The world will fill with the joy of music, partially thanks to you!
Creating your own fork of the SIRIUS Player project on Github is completely free. As long as you don't try to hide your repository from the public, you can make as many separate repositories as you'd like. It does cost for a closed repository, though. Thankfully since SIRIUS Player is licensed GPLv3, you have no reason to lock it down and therefore it is totally free!
