In order to contribute to Meshery, please follow the fork-and-pull request workflow described here.
To contribute to this project, you must agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) for each commit you make. The DCO is a simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the contribution.
See the DCO file for the full text of what you must agree to and how it works here. To signify that you agree to the DCO for contributions, you simply add a line to each of your git commit messages:
Signed-off-by: Jane Smith <jane.smith@example.com>
In most cases, you can add this signoff to your commit automatically with the
-s or --signoff flag to git commit. You must use your real name and a reachable email
address (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions). An example of signing off on a commit:
$ commit -s -m “my commit message w/signoff”
To ensure all your commits are signed, you may choose to add this alias to your global .gitconfig:
~/.gitconfig
[alias]
amend = commit -s --amend
cm = commit -s -m
commit = commit -s
Or you may configure your IDE, for example, Visual Studio Code to automatically sign-off commits for you:
Please contribute! Layer5 documentation uses Jekyll and GitHub Pages to host docs sites. Learn more about Layer5's documentation framework. The process of contributing follows this flow:
- Create a fork, if you have not already, by following the steps described here
- In the local copy of your fork, navigate to the docs folder.
cd docs - Create and checkout a new branch to make changes within
git checkout -b <my-changes> - Edit/add documentation.
vi <specific page>.md - Run site locally to preview changes.
make site - Commit, sign-off, and push changes to your remote branch.
git push origin <my-changes> - Open a pull request (in your web browser) against the repo.
Users can now test their code on their local machine against the CI checks implemented using make run-tests.
To test code changes on your local machine, run the following command:
make run-tests
To build a Docker image of the project, please ensure you have Docker installed to be able to build the image. Now, run the following command to build the Docker image:
make dockerLayer5 uses ES-Lint to maintain code quality & consistency in our UI Code.
