Active Record Session Store is work of many contributors. You're encouraged to submit pull requests, propose features and discuss issues.
Fork the project on Github and check out your copy.
git clone https://github.com/contributor/activerecord-session_store.git
cd activerecord-session_store
git remote add upstream https://github.com/rails/activerecord-session_store.git
Make sure your fork is up-to-date and create a topic branch for your feature or bug fix.
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git checkout -b my-feature-branch
Ensure that you can build the project and run tests.
bundle install
bundle exec rake test
Try to write a test that reproduces the problem you're trying to fix or describes a feature that you want to build. Add to test.
We definitely appreciate pull requests that highlight or reproduce a problem, even without a fix.
Implement your feature or bug fix.
Make sure that bundle exec rake test completes without errors.
Document any external behavior in the README.
Make sure git knows your name and email address:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "contributor@example.com"
Writing good commit logs is important. A commit log should describe what changed and why.
git add ...
git commit
git push origin my-feature-branch
Go to your fork at
https://github.com/[your github username]/activerecord-session_store and
select your feature branch. Click the 'Pull Request' button and fill out the
form. Pull requests are usually reviewed within a few days.
If you've been working on a change for a while, rebase with upstream/master.
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git push origin my-feature-branch -f
Go back to your pull request after a few minutes and see whether it passed muster with Travis-CI. Everything should look green, otherwise fix issues and amend your commit as described above.
It's likely that your change will not be merged and that the nitpicky maintainers will ask you to do more, or fix seemingly benign problems. Hang in there!
Please do know that we really appreciate and value your time and work. We love you, really.
