Irie

Contribute

From an idea to a change added to Irie, in four steps that end in Steak. Step 1: agree it in an issue, for anything bigger than a small fix. Step 2: send a pull request, signed off, saying if an agent helped. Step 3: a maintainer merges it, adding it to Irie, after a review. Step 4: a maintainer other than its author sizes it in Steak, at 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 or 21, and it is recorded in irie-people/stake.

From an idea to a change added to Irie and sized in Steak: Irie’s measure of who built what.

Irie is free to use. If Irie ever makes money, it all goes back to the people who build it, after running costs.

How to help

  1. For anything bigger than a small fix, open an issue, a discussion on the project’s GitHub page, and agree the approach first.
  2. Sign off each commit, a saved change, with git commit -s. That certifies the Developer Certificate of Origin: you have the right to submit the work under the project’s license.
  3. Say in your pull request, the change you send for review, if an agent wrote part of it. You answer for every line, and AI-generated changes sent without discussion are closed.
  4. Once your change is merged, or added to Irie, a maintainer sizes it in Steak with a label such as steak:3. A maintainer is one of the people who look after Irie, and never sizes their own change.

Your Steak starts once a maintainer vouches for you, usually after your first merged change.
