# Contributing to rclone #

This is a short guide on how to contribute things to rclone.

## Reporting a bug ##

If you've just got a question or aren't sure if you've found a bug
then please use the [rclone forum](https://forum.rclone.org/) instead
of filing an issue.

When filing an issue, please include the following information if
possible as well as a description of the problem.  Make sure you test
with the [latest beta of rclone](https://beta.rclone.org/):

  * Rclone version (e.g. output from `rclone version`)
  * Which OS you are using and how many bits (e.g. Windows 10, 64 bit)
  * The command you were trying to run (e.g. `rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp`)
  * A log of the command with the `-vv` flag (e.g. output from `rclone -vv copy /tmp remote:tmp`)
    * if the log contains secrets then edit the file with a text editor first to obscure them

It's an enhancement, I'm a zoho workdrive user, all the download calls triggered from rclone are using old download APIs, so just i need to update the request URL with the new one. So anybody could help me in this??

The line to change is rclone/zoho.go at 4f374bc26475316aaf9f4392c58017507de9e057 · rclone/rclone · GitHub . Is there anything else to take care so that my changes wont make other things affected?

Also, I'm new to Go language

Give it your best shot and then send a pull request. I can help you more there if needed.

Note that the pull request will lint the code etc.

Set up a remote called TestZoho then you will be able to run go test -v when you are in the backend/zoho directory. This will run integration tests with Zoho and you can see if you broke anything.
