Contributing (Step-by-step)

  1. Fork the repo on which you're working, clone your forked repo to your local computer, and set up the upstream remote:

     git clone git://github.com/YourGitHubUserName/this-repository-name.git
 git remote add upstream https://github.com/MyUserName/this-repository-name.git

  2. Checkout out a new local branch based on your master and update it to the latest.

     git checkout -b TRUNK-123 master
 git clean -df
 git pull --rebase upstream master

Please keep your code clean. If you find another bug, you want to fix while being in a new branch, please fix it in a separated branch instead.

  1. Push the branch to your fork. Treat it as a backup.

     git push origin TRUNK-123

  2. Code

  • Adhere to common conventions you see in the existing code
  • Include tests, and ensure they pass
  • Search to see if your new functionality has been discussed.

  1. Follow the Coding Conventions.

  2. Commit to your branch

For every commit please write a short (max 72 characters) summary in the first line followed with a blank line and then more detailed descriptions of the change. Use markdown syntax for simple styling. Please include any issue numbers in your summary.

    git commit -m "TRUNK-123: Put change summary here (can be a ticket title)"

NEVER leave the commit message blank! Provide a detailed, clear, and complete description of your commit!

  1. Update your branch to the latest code.

     git pull --rebase upstream master

If you have made many commits, please squash them into atomic units of work.

    git checkout master
    git pull --rebase upstream master
    git checkout TRUNK-123
    git rebase -i master

Make sure all unit tests still pass:

Push changes to your fork:

    git push -f
  1. Issue a Pull Request

In order to make a pull request,

  • Navigate to the repository you just pushed to (e.g. https://github.com/your-user-name/repository-name)
  • Click "Pull Request".
  • Write your branch name in the branch field (this is filled with "master" by default)
  • Click "Update Commit Range".
  • Ensure the changesets you introduced are included in the "Commits" tab.
  • Ensure that the "Files Changed" incorporate all of your changes.
  • Fill in some details about your potential patch including a meaningful title.
  • Click "Send pull request".

Thanks for that -- we'll get to your pull request ASAP. We love pull requests!
