This page contains guidelines for contributing to the Laravel framework. Please review these guidelines before submitting any pull requests to the framework.
ALL bug fixes should be made to the 4.x branch which they belong. Bug fixes should never be sent to the master
branch unless they fix features that exist only in the upcoming release.
The pull request process differs for new features and bugs. Before sending a pull request for a new feature, you should first create an issue with [Proposal]
in the title. The proposal should describe the new feature, as well as implementation ideas. The proposal will then be reviewed and either approved or denied. Once a proposal is approved, a pull request may be created implementing the new feature. Pull requests which do not follow this guideline will be closed immediately.
Pull requests for bugs may be sent without creating any proposal issue. If you believe that you know of a solution for a bug that has been filed on Github, please leave a comment detailing your proposed fix.
If you have an idea for a new feature you would like to see added to Laravel, you may create an issue on Github with [Request]
in the title. The feature request will then be reviewed by a core contributor.
