### Code of Conduct

Refer to [CODE\_OF\_CONDUCT.md](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).

### We Develop with Github

We use [github](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix) to host code, to track [issues](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/issues) and feature requests, as well as accept [pull requests](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/pulls).

After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks we may close the issue and pull request if it isn't showing any activity.

### Environment

You can configure it as follows:
```shell
## clone repository
git clone https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix.git
cd ./Firefox-UI-Fix

### Project Structure

```
root
|- .gitattributes: Exclude at `Download Zip`
|- .github: Issue/PR Template, Github Actions
|- .prettierignore: Exclude coding style
|- .prettierrc.json: Coding style
|- icons/: Icons, illustrations
|- install.ps1: Install script write in powersehll
|- install.sh: Install script write in bash
|- LEPTON: Meta infos (branch, version)
|- user.js: about:config settings
|- userChrome.css: CSS for Browser UI
|- userContent.css: CSS for Web pages
```

#### Icon files

Most of them are made in SVG.

Except for illustrations, there must be an `fill="context-fill" fill-opacity="context-fill-opacity"` property to dynamically determine color and transparency.

Icons are mainly [FirefoxUX/photon-icons](https://github.com/FirefoxUX/photon-icons)
or [microsoft/fluentui-system-icons](https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-system-icons).

#### Meta Info files

It comes from [install.sh](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/blob/01ae88bf2c4710e1f364d9eb2901ca2b722cefe7/install.sh#L442).

**`LEPTON` file format**

If this file exist in same directory as the `userChrome.css` file,
it is recognized as the "Lepton" installation directory.

```ini
[Info]
Branch=master | photon-style | proton-style
Ver=<git tag> | <git hash> | [NULL]
```

**`lepton.ini` file Format**

In `lepton.ini`, various information is stored during the installation process.\
This file is recreated every time the installer is created.

```ini
[Profile Name]
Type=Local | Release | Git
Branch=master | photon-style | proton-style
Ver=<git tag> | <git hash> | [NULL]
Path=<Full PATH>
```

**Update Policy according to `Type`**
- Local(unknown): force latest commit update
- Release(<git tag>): force latest tag update
- Git<git hash>: latest commit update

## Rules

### Version

Milestone, The versioning scheme we use is [SemVer](https://semver.org/). (Maintainer decides, do not pull request.)

We will release the feature as soon as it is complete, but the cycle should be 2-4 weeks.
Rapid releases.

It comes from [#109](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/issues/109#issuecomment-873313945).

### Branch

Stable: Only bugfix, Documentation.
- `master`: Common bugfix, documentation.
- `photon-style`: Bugfix, documentation specified in `photon-style`.
- `proton-sryle`: Bugfix, documentation specified in `proton-style`.

Development: New Features.
- `dev`: Common new features.
- `photon-style-dev`: New features specified in `photon-style`.
- `proton-style-dev`: New features specified in `proton-style`.

### Issue

- **Versions:**
- Make sure you’re on the latest version.
- Try older versions.
- Try switching up dependency versions.
- **Search:** Search the project’s [issues](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/issues) to make sure it's not a known issue.

### Coding style

- **Indent:** 2 spaces for indentation rather than tabs.
- **Columns:** Fit `80`~`100` columns as much as possible. (Auto formatting is using 120 to avoid the worst case)

### Commit

- **Meaningfully:**: It doesn't make meaningless commits.
- **One per task:** It's difficult to distinguish when various tasks are mixed.
- **Often:** Codes may corrupt during large changes.

### Commit Message

For intuitive recognition, I [put a **prefix**](https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/commits/master).
- `Add:` Add feature or enhanced.
- `Fix:` Bug fix or change default values.
- `Clean:` Refactoring.
- `Doc:` Update docs.
