Welcome to Cthulhu

We are excited to have you here and welcome your contributions to the Cthulhu screen reader project! This project is a fork of Orca, with a focus on creating an open and collaborative community where contributions are encouraged.


How to Contribute

If you have direct access, please create a branch. After making changes, be sure to thoroughly test, then merge to the master branch. If you do not have direct access, you can send contributions via email.


Submitting Changes via Email

1. **Fork or Clone the Repository**
   - Clone the repository locally:
     ```bash
     git clone https://git.stormux.org/storm/cthulhu
     ```

   - Make the changes you want to contribute.

2. **Format Your Changes for Submission**
   - Use `git format-patch` to create patch files for your changes:
     ```bash
     git format-patch origin/master
     ```

   - This will generate `.patch` files for your commits, which can be emailed to us.

3. **Email Your Patches**
   - Once your patches are ready, send them via email to:
     **storm_dragon on the stormux.org domain**
   - In your email, briefly explain the changes and improvements made in the patch.


Contribution Guidelines

- **Respect Coding Standards**: Please follow the existing coding style and structure where possible. Exceptions exist of course if it is a refactor.
- **Write Clear Commit Messages**: Ensure each commit includes a clear and concise message that explains what has been changed and why.
- **Be Open to Feedback**: questions may be asked or changes suggested to ensure the contribution aligns with the project.
