# Contributing to Halkyon

## Licences

Contributions are accepted under the licence of the package they change (see
`LICENSE.md`): `AGPL-3.0-or-later` for the apps, the client packages and the shared
Flutter and Dart packages, `SSPL-1.0` for the servers and the server module. Halkyon
Todo's packages have no licence yet; contributions to them wait until they have one.
There is no copyright assignment and no contributor licence agreement: every
contributor keeps the copyright of their work.

## Sign-off

Every commit carries a `Signed-off-by` line with your name and email address. With it
you certify the Developer Certificate of Origin below: that you wrote the change, or
otherwise have the right to submit it under the package's licence. `git commit -s` adds
the line, or `git config format.signoff true` for every commit.

## Before you push

`dart run tool/check.dart` runs the format check, the analyzer and every package's tests
that don't need a running server. In a fresh clone,
`ln -s ../../tool/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push` makes every push run it. Keep a change
focused, with its tests. How the code is organised, and the rules it follows, are in
`AGENTS.md` and each app's own `AGENTS.md`.
