This project is maintained in a professional, technical tone. Everyone is welcome to use it, report problems and propose changes, regardless of experience level, language, country of origin or employer.
- Be specific. Bug reports with input, command and output get solved; opinions without evidence usually do not.
- Criticise the code, not the person. "This regex drops the first line" is useful; "you clearly do not know Bash" is not.
- Assume good faith on scope. A maintainer may decline a feature that fits your workflow but not the tool's single purpose.
- Keep threads on topic. Unrelated promotion, politics and personal disputes belong elsewhere.
- Insults, harassment, discriminatory remarks, or sexualised language and imagery.
- Publishing someone's private information (address, phone, credentials, private correspondence) without permission.
- Deliberately submitting malicious code, backdoors, credential collectors or obfuscated payloads, including in "example" Markdown.
- Spam: repeated comments, irrelevant links, advertising.
- Pressing for unpaid private support after a "no".
The rules apply to issues, pull requests, discussions, commit messages and any other space where the project is discussed, including private messages sent in a project context.
Report a problem to the maintainer at mid1977@gmail.com. Reports are read within a few days. Depending on severity, the response is one of:
- a clarification request in the thread;
- a warning, with the offending content removed or hidden;
- a temporary block from the repository;
- a permanent block and a report to the platform.
The maintainer recuses from decisions about reports involving themselves; in that case the report goes to GitHub Support.
Applies to all project spaces from 2026-10-19.
