Report an Issue

Add a link to “Report an Issue”

The plugins site https://plugins.jenkins.io includes a “Report an Issue” link for each of the plugins. The linked page guides the user to provide a better classified issue and leads them to the correct path to privately report security issues.

Create a branch

In a local copy of your fork of the plugin repository create a git branch for your work with the command:

git checkout -b {task-identifier} master

Add "Report an Issue" to README

Add a heading in the plugin documentation that links to the specific “Report an Issue” link provided by the https://plugins.jenkins.io site. Some plugins use GitHub issues. The link from the https://plugins.jenkins.io site is the correct link to use in that case as well.

For example, the link for the git plugin is https://www.jenkins.io/participate/report-issue/redirect/#15543, while the link for the elastic axis plugin is https://www.jenkins.io/participate/report-issue/redirect/#17588.
