Masterclass overview
My first WooCommerce PR attempt was a disaster… the WooCommerce plugin developers are still chasing me!
That’s because I didn’t read the docs, I forgot to add important information for testing my code changes, and I even added a nice WooCommerce bug because I forgot to declare a variable 😐
Well, well, well – let’s change that, and go through the process once again, live, hoping you can learn what not to do.
Why a pull request, by the way? The thing is that maybe you happened to find a bug or a potential WooCommerce plugin improvement while working on a website. Maybe you really needed a “filter” in that template file, and that would have made a huge difference to your development flow.
Now you have two choices: (1) you could give out on Twitter or (2) you could actually fix it by yourself and help WooCommerce move forward.
The latter is called contributing to the WooCommerce Core via a GitHub pull request.
In this class, we’ll go through a live demonstration on how you can implement your own fixes to the WooCommerce plugin in a simplified way (such as adding a new hook) with a free GitHub account and some PHP coding skills.
This is ideal for beginner developers, and such a great way to understand how this “open-source thing” really works. Let’s learn how we can make WooCommerce better.
