Before you work on something major, make sure to check the issue tracker to coordinate with other contributors, and open an issue to get feedback before doing big changes/PRs. It is always polite to check the history of the code you're working on and collaborate with the people that have worked on it. You can introduce yourself in [Meet the team](https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/issues/1113).
Everything goes to master via PRs. Test builds are run automatically for both internal and external PRs, and generally should pass unless there's a really good reason for breakage. You might want to check our [CLA](https://gist.github.com/skmp/920357e9d3a7733234ade1eb465367cc), which is required to have your changes merged.
If you are looking for somewhere to start, look for issues marked [good first issue](https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) or [help wanted](https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22)
Well, glad you liked the project so far! We want to switch to a "donation-driven-development" model so that we are not forced to pay out of out pockets for the project costs, and so that contributors can have a source of income to cover food and housing costs.
We accept monetary donations via bountysource at https://salt.bountysource.com/teams/reicast or IBAN transfers to `CH65 0070 0110 0052 6460 1, Stefanos Kornilios Mitsis Poiitidis, 8005 Zürich`. Please note that IBAN donations will appear as `Anonymous` for now.
You can also directly add bounties to tickets that are of interest to you at https://www.bountysource.com/teams/reicast, though supporting the project via a small monthly donation is preffered. Every $5 helps.
We will use the donations to cover administrative and hosting costs (~$100/mo), buy hardware and to sponsor development & testing.
If you want to do hardware or other non-monetary donations, please contact donations@reicast.com.
Please help us to make this project self-sustainable.
Thank you for your support!
