# Contributing Guide
### How to add a channel to the database or edit its description?
1. Download the repository to your computer. The easiest way to do this is via [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/).
2. Open [data/channels.csv](data/channels.csv) file in one of the spreadsheet editors (such as [Google Sheets](https://www.google.com/sheets/about/), [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/libreoffice/), ...).
3. Make the necessary changes and save the file.
4. Make a [pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/about-pull-requests) with all changes. This can also be done via [GitHub Desktop](https://desktop.github.com/).
**IMPORTANT:** Since different programs process CSV files differently before publishing an edited file, please make sure that:
- no extra columns (commas) were added to the file
- only [CRLF](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/CRLF) is used to indicate the end of a line
- no empty lines at the end of the file

## Project Structure
- `.github/`
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`: issue templates for the repository.
- `workflows`: contains [GitHub actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/quickstart) workflows.
- `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`: rules you shouldn't break if you don't want to get banned.
- `.readme/`
- `preview.png`: image displayed in the `README.md`.
- `data/`: contains all data.
- `scripts/`: contains all scripts used in the repository.
- `tests/`: contains tests to check the scripts.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md`: file you are currently reading.
- `README.md`: project description displayed on the home page.
## Scripts
These scripts are created to automate routine processes in the repository and make it a bit easier to maintain.
For scripts to work, you must have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) installed on your computer.
To run scripts use the `npm run <script-name>` command.
- `act:check`: allows to run the [check](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/.github/workflows/check.yml) workflow locally. Depends on [nektos/act](https://github.com/nektos/act).
- `act:update`: allows to run the [update](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/.github/workflows/update.yml) workflow locally. Depends on [nektos/act](https://github.com/nektos/act).
- `act:deploy`: allows to run the [deploy](https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml) workflow locally. Depends on [nektos/act](https://github.com/nektos/act).
- `db:validate`: checks the integrity of data.
- `db:export`: saves all data in JSON format to the `/.api` folder.
- `db:update`: triggers a data update using approved requests from issues.
- `lint`: сhecks the scripts for syntax errors.
- `test`: runs a test of all the scripts described above.
## Workflows
To automate the run of the scripts described above, we use the [GitHub Actions workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows).
Each workflow includes its own set of scripts that can be run either manually or in response to an event.
- `check`: runs the `db:validate` script when a new pull request appears, and blocks the merge if it detects an error in it.
- `update`: sequentially runs `db:update` and `db:validate` scripts and commits all the changes if successful.
- `deploy`: after each update of the [master](https://github.com/iptv-org/database/branches) branch runs the script `db:export` and then publishes the resulting files to the [iptv-org/api](https://github.com/iptv-org/api) repository.
