First: if you're unsure or afraid of anything, ask for help! You can submit a work in progress (WIP) pull request, or file an issue with the parts you know. We'll do our best to guide you in the right direction, and let you know if there are guidelines we will need to follow. We want people to be able to participate without fear of doing the wrong thing.
We expect that all commit messages follow the
Conventional Commits specification.
Please use the feat, fix or chore types for your commits.
In order for a code change to be accepted, you'll also have to accept the
Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).
It's very lightweight, and you can find it here.
Accepting is accomplished by signing off on your commits, you can do this by
adding a Signed-off-by line to your commit message, like here:
feat: add support for the XXXX operation
Signed-off-by: Random Developer <random@developer.example.org>
Please use your real name and a valid email address.
Please create a new PR against the main branch which must be based on the
project's pull request template.
We usually squash all PRs commits on merge, and use the PR title as the commit message. Therefore, the PR title should follow the Conventional Commits specification as well.
