Producing Packages, Part Two

The Workshop

the project by submitting pull requests
will go a long way to making your proj-
ect successful.
Since we’re hosting our library on
GitHub, we want to use Github Issues
to track any problems users may be
having. While we do want to support
pull requests and users contributing we
should be up front about our PHP Easy
Math library is for learning purposes
so we may not merge all pull requests.
These instructions are shown in Listing
8.
Now our README.md file is complete
with information about what our library
does, the build state, how to install, how

to use it, how to contribute features or

fixes, and where to get help.

Recap

This month we added a chunk of

information to our README.md file to

inform our potential users about our

build status, installation instructions,

usage, and how to contribute. Now

that our library is ready for real world

usage what happens when we get a

pull request? What if we need to add

features? Next month we’re going to

dive into how to triage issues, pull

requests, adding features as well as

tagging new releases!
