See the getting started guide in the Wiki.

DirigoEdge and its plugins depend on DirigoEdgeCore. Stable versions are available and will be automatically installed from NuGet. If you would like to work with the latest development build of Core you'll need to pull down the project.

Clone the repo from GitHub. This will automatically pull down the develop branch

$ git clone https://github.com/dirigodev/DirigoEdgeCore.git

Once you've opened the project in Visual Studio you'll need to do a build. This will automatically generate a new NuGet package in DirigoEdgeCore/bin.

In Package Manager Settings go to NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources. Add a new source and point it to C:\path\to\DirigoEdgeCore\bin. Make sure you hit Update when you're done.

You can change the order in which NuGet looks for packages here, or you can explicitly set it in the Package Manager Console.

Now you're ready to install DirigoEdgeCore in the Package Manager Console. If you didn't set your local package source at the top of list, be sure to set Package source to your local source.

Now you are ready to update the package. The -Reinstall flag is necessary if you have made changes to DirigoEdgeCore and haven't changed the version in the nuspec file.

Fork the project on GitHub and check out your copy locally.

$ git clone https://github.com/dirigodev/DirigoEdge.git
$ cd DirigoEdge
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/dirigodev/DirigoEdge.git

Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix

Try to keep your commit history clean. Your commit messages should concisely describe all the change contained within the commit.

If you have a lot of small commits, consider squashing your commits.

Pull requests with merge conflicts will not be accepted. Rebasing your fork from time to time while you're working on it will prevent major headaches when you're ready to submit your PR.

Use git rebase (not git merge) to sync your work from time to time.

$ git fetch upstream
$ git rebase upstream/develop

$ git push origin my-feature-branch

Go to https://github.com/yourusername/DirigoEdge and select your feature branch. Click the 'Pull Request' button and fill out the form.

Changes will be reviewed by the DirigoEdge core team. If there are comments to address, apply your changes in a separate commit and push that to your feature branch. This will automatically update your pull request.
