Contribute to risk recipes

We are happy to receive contributions that enhance and expand the capabilities of our risk assessment toolbox. If you want to contribute, you can get in touch with us via the CLIMAAX organization on GitHub, where this handbook and the contained risk workflows are at home.

If you do not have a GitHub account, you can sign up here.

Code of Conduct

The CLIMAAX Handbook is published with a Code of Conduct. By contributing to this project you agree to abide by its terms.

Workflow for existing hazard

On GitHub, you can create an issue or a pull request, depending on the type of your contribution:

Issue

Create an issue for questions about workflows and data used in the workflows, feature proposals and for discussion of ideas and problems related to workflows.

Pull request

Create a pull request to contribute a new workflow, additions to an existing workflow or to send us a bug fix for a problem in a workflow.

Pull requests represent a proposal to merge code into the repository. You will need some basic knowledge of git to create a pull request. See our software resources page for more information.

To create a pull request, please fork the workflow repository first, commit your changes, push to your fork and then create a pull request in the original repository of the CLIMAAX organization.

Workflow for new hazard

To propose a risk assessment workflow for a hazard or combination of hazards not included in our selection, please open an issue on our handbook repository.

We provide a template repository for new workflows. Please read and follow the instructions at the top of the template’s README.md to get started with a new repository.
