# How to Contribute |
|||
|
|||
All of the [instructions for contributing from the main repository](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) apply, and won't be repeated here. You simply need to change references to `caskroom/homebrew-cask` (that repository) to `caskroom/homebrew-versions` (this repository). |

# Nightly Builds (Nightlies) |
|||
|
|||
For Casks of [nightlies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_build), `version`, `sha256`, and `url` change frequently, making the Cask constantly outdated. To alleviate having to regularly update them, the use of a [`url do` block](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/doc/cask_language_reference/stanzas/url.md#using-a-block-to-defer-code-execution) in conjunction with `version :latest` and `sha256 :no_check` is encouraged, to ensure the latest version is always fetched. |
|||
|
|||
See [this pull request for exist-db-nightly](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-versions/pull/3067) for an example of the procedure. |

Example ([exist-db-nightly.rb](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-versions/blob/16b3bab91ab5b9a69ef7c456441b0e0fced56516/Casks/exist-db-nightly.rb#L6#L14)): |
|||
|
|||
```ruby |
|||
url do |
|||
require 'open-uri' |
|||
base_url = 'http://static.adamretter.org.uk/exist-nightly' |
|||
builds_url = "#{base_url}/table.html" |
|||
latest_build_filename = open(builds_url) do |io| |
|||
io.read.scan(%r{<tr>.*?<td>(.*?)</td>.*?<a href="([^\"]+)">dmg}m).max[1] |
|||
end |
|||
"#{base_url}/#{latest_build_filename}" |
|||
end |
