Development

Tools required

Visual Studio 2012
HTML/Javascript editor of choice (Sublime Text/Webstorm/etc)
npm (node package manager)
git

Getting started

Fork NzbDrone

Compile in Visual Studio

Contributing Code

If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please move it to In Progress on Trello so work is not duplicated.
Rebase from NzbDrone's develop branch, don't merge
Make meaningful commits, or squash them
Feel free to make a pull request before work is complete, this will let us see where its at and make comments/suggest improvements
Reach out to us on the forums or on IRC if you have any questions
Add tests (unit/integration)
Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix)
Try to stick to one feature per request to keep things clean and easy to understand
Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2012 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)

Pull Requesting

You're probably going to get some comments or questions from us, they will be to ensure consistency and maintainability
We'll try to respond to pull requests as soon as possible, if its been a day or two, please reach out to us, we may have missed it

If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know.
