Pull Request Guidelines

Please review the following before opening a pull request (PR) to help your PR go smoothly:

Code changes go to the dev branch first
- To ensure proper testing and quality control, target any code change pull requests against dev branch.
Make sure the tests pass
- Take a look at TESTING.md to see how to run tests locally so you do not have to push all your code to a PR and have travis-ci run it.
- Your tests will probably run faster locally and you get a faster feedback loop.
