How To Contribute to Elixir and Phoenix

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Shows how to make real contributions: edit the Phoenix guides via fork-and-edit via GitHub, submit a pull request with a clear commit message, reproduce bugs by switching a project to the bleeding edge Phoenix dependency or running mix phoenix.new --dev, build Elixir from source and test release candidates with make clean test, and generate docs with xdoc/make docs so patches and doc fixes actually build and prove they work.
