Title: Reporting bugs on GitHub
Post by: shawnb61 on October 17, 2019, 10:53:49 PM
The SMF 2.1 repository is public & bugs may be logged directly on GitHub.  Several folks have requested pointers on how to log and query issues up on GitHub. 

Attached is an overview of how to do so!

The question has come up how to easily view the code as of a particular release.  E.g., when looking at a bug report, and the line of code doesn't match what's up on GitHub, it helps to ask GitHub to show code as of a particular release, e.g., 2.1.4.

It's pretty easy to do so using the branch/tag dropdown on the Code tab. 

First, from the Code tab, click on the branch/tag dropdown:

Click on Tags to be able to choose the release tags:

Choose the release tag:

Now the selected version will be reflected in the branch/tag dropdown, your browser tab, and the URL.

Now you're browsing the code as of 2.1.4.


Lots of ways to get back to viewing current code, the easiest is to just click on the SMF breadcrumb:

Maybe for the next tutorial, we'll cover the joys & horrors of the "Blame" button.
