Nextcloud doesn't require a CLA (Contributor License Agreement). The copyright belongs to all the individual contributors. Therefore we recommend that every contributor adds following line to the header of a file, if they changed it substantially:

## Start contributing

You can start by forking this repository and creating pull requests on the develop
branch. Maybe start working on [starter issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22starter+issue%22). 

Easy starting points are also reviewing [pull requests](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/pulls)

### Xcode V 12.5 Project Setup

#### Dependencies

After forking a repository you have to build the dependencies. Dependencies are managed with Carthage version 0.37.0 or later. 
Run

```
carthage update --use-xcframeworks --platform iOS --cache-builds
```
to fetch and compile the dependencies.

### Creating Pull requests

#### DCO Signoff

Nextcloud enforces the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/) on Pull Requests. It requires your commit messages to contain a Signed-off-by line with an email address that matches your GitHub account.

##### How to Sign off

The DCO is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing by adding a Signed-off-by line to commit messages.

```
My Commit message

Signed-off-by: Random Contributor <random@contributor.dev>
```

Git even has a `-s | --signoff` command line option to append this to your commit messages automatically.

## Support

If you need assistance or want to ask a question about the iOS app, you are welcome to [ask for support](https://help.nextcloud.com/c/clients/ios) in our forums or the [IRC-Channel](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=nextcloud-mobile). If you have found a bug, feel free to [open a new Issue on GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues). Keep in mind, that this repository only manages the iOS app. If you find bugs or have problems with the server/backend, you should ask the [Nextcloud server team](https://github.com/nextcloud/server) for help!
