How to post a Bug report on some app?

GitHub Help

Hi,
I want to post a bug report on some app. Could anybody help me with how do I do it?
Thanks a lot.

If you’re asking here I assume the app is hosted on Github. In that case:

  • Check the repository for README and CONTRIBUTING files. If they say anything on how to report bugs, follow that.
  • Otherwise it’s probably best to create an issue in the repository.

In general it’s very important to be precise in your report, and answer these questions:

  • What exactly are you doing with the app?
  • What do you expect to happen?
  • What happens instead?

It’s best if you can provide a reproducer, which means a precise set of instructions (or code) to reproduce the problem.
