## Code of Conduct

This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the
[**Archoleat Repo Template Code of Conduct**](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
[**Code of Conduct**](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

## I Have a Question

> If you want to ask a question, we assume that you have read
> the available [**Documentation**](README.md).
Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing
[**Issues**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues)
that might help you. In case you have found a suitable **Issue** and still need
clarification, you can write your question in this **Issue**.
It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.

If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification,
we recommend the following:

- Open an
[**Issue**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues/new/choose).

- Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.

- Provide project and platform versions (**nodejs**, **npm**, etc),
depending on what seems relevant.

We will then take care of the **Issue** as soon as possible.

### Reporting Bugs

#### Before Submitting a Bug Report

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully,
collect information and describe the **Issue** in detail in your report.
Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any
potential bug as fast as possible.

- Make sure that you are using the latest version.

- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g.
using incompatible environment components/versions
(Make sure that you have read the [**Documentation**](README.md).
If you are looking for support, you might want to check
[**this section**](#i-have-a-question)).

- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved)
the same **Issue** you are having, check if there is not already
a bug report existing for your bug or error in the
[**bug tracker**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues?q=label%3Abug).

- Also make sure to search the internet (including **Stack Overflow**)
to see if users outside of the **GitHub community** have discussed
the **Issue**.

- Collect information about the bug:

- Stack trace (Traceback).

- OS, Platform and Version (**Windows**, **Linux**, **macOS**,
**x86**, **ARM**).

- Version of the **interpreter**, **compiler**, **SDK**,
**runtime environment**, **package manager**, depending
on what seems relevant.

- Possibly your input and the output.

- Can you reliably reproduce the **Issue**? And can you also reproduce
it with older versions?

#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?

> You must never report security related **Issues**, vulnerabilities or bugs
> including sensitive information to the **Issue** tracker,
> or elsewhere in public.
We use GitHub **Issues** to track bugs and errors.
If you run into an **Issue** with the project:

- Open an
[**Issue**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues/new/choose).
(Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not,
we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the **Issue**.)

- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.

- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the
*reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to recreate
the **Issue** on their own. This usually includes your code.
For good bug reports you should isolate the problem
and create a reduced test case.

- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.

Once it's filed:

- The project team will label the **Issue** accordingly.

- A team member will try to reproduce the **Issue** with your provided steps.
If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce
the **Issue**, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the **Issue**
as `needs-repro`. Bugs with the `needs-repro` tag will not be
addressed until they are reproduced.

- If the team is able to reproduce the **Issue**, it will be marked
`needs-fix`, as well as possibly other tags (such as `critical`),
and the **Issue** will be left to be
[**implemented by someone**](#your-first-code-contribution).

### Suggesting Enhancements

This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for
**Archoleat Repo Template**, **including completely new features and minor
improvements to existing functionality**. Following these guidelines
will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion
and find related suggestions.

#### Before Submitting an Enhancement

- Make sure that you are using the latest version.

- Read the [**Documentation**](README.md)
carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered,
maybe by an individual configuration.

- Perform a
[**search**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues)
to see if the enhancement has already been suggested.
If it has, add a comment to the existing **Issue** instead
of opening a new one.

- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project
It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developer
of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that
will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset.
If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an
add-on/plugin library.

#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?

Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [**GitHub Issues**](https://github.com/Archoleat/archoleat-repo-template/issues/new/choose).

- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the **Issue** to identify
the suggestion.

- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement**
in as many details as possible.

- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most
**Archoleat Repo Template** users. You may also want to point
out the other projects that solved it better and which
could serve as inspiration.

### Improving The Documentation
## Before Submitting Your Issue

Enhancing the documentation of **Archoleat Repo Template** is
crucial for ensuring it's usability and accessibility to a wider
audience. Comprehensive and well-structured documentation empowers

build their projects.

#### Before Submitting Documentation Enhancements
## The Title of Your Pull Request or Issue

- Thoroughly review the existing
documentation to identify areas for improvement. Consider aspects
like clarity, comprehensiveness, and ease of navigation.

of your proposed documentation enhancements. What specific aspects
of the documentation need to be improved? How will these enhancements
benefit users?
## Reporting Bugs

pain points, and how your suggestions address these issues.
