  4. Pull Requests

Dependencies

Dependency management is done with glide. You can install it by running:

$ go get -u github.com/Masterminds/glide

Then make sure you run glide install to install the current version of dependencies.

If you need to add a new dependency to the library, before you commit your changes make sure you run:

$ glide get <DEPENDENCY>

as described in glide's documentations.

Testing

Before you make a pull request, make sure all tests are passing. Here is a handy snippet using reflex to run all tests every time you change your codes:

$ reflex -d none -r "\.go$"  -- zsh -c "go test ./..."

If you need a separator between each run you can run:

$ reflex -d none -r "\.go$"  -- zsh -c "go test ./... ; repeat 100 printf '#'"

It's also a good idea to run tests with -race flag after the final iteration to make sure you are not introducing any race conditions:

$ go test -race ./...

Benchmarking

Benchmarking is done by running:

$ go test ./... -bench=.

Pull Requests

Make sure each commit introduces one change at a time. This means if your changes are changing a signature of a function and also adds a new feature, they should be in two distinct commit. Make a new branch for your changes and make the pull request based on that branch.

You can sign your commits with this command:

$ git commit -S

Please avoid the Signed-off by ... clause (-s switch).
