Contributing to Gokapi

First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! Gokapi is built to be a lightweight, secure way to share files, and community help is what keeps this project running.

Security First

If you find a security vulnerability, please do not open a public issue. Instead, report it at https://github.com/Forceu/Gokapi/security to allow for a responsible disclosure.

Getting Started

1. Fork the repository and clone it locally.
2. Ensure you have Go 1.25+ (or the version specified in go.mod) installed.
3. Install dependencies: go mod download.
4. Create a new branch for your fix or feature: git checkout -b feat/new-pr-name.

Coding Standards

• Style: Run go fmt ./... before committing. We follow standard Go idioms.
• Tests: If you add a feature, please add a corresponding test in the relevant _test.go file.
• Documentation: Update the README.md or /docs if you change application behaviours or procedures.

Submitting a PR

• Ensure your PR description follows our PR Template.
• Keep PRs focused. If you have two unrelated fixes, please open two PRs.
• Make sure all CI checks pass before requesting a review.

Community & Communication

If you're unsure about an implementation detail, feel free to open a "Draft PR" or start a GitHub Discussion to get feedback early!
