Contributing to the project

👍🎉 First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉👍

Here are the guidelines we'd like you to follow:

Github Pull Requests

QA: Quality Assurance PR: Pull Request CI: Continuous Integration (Travis)

Here is the workflow for pull requests we are using.

  1. Submit your pull request. => the CI should kick tests so you will have feedback about the different QA
  2. If any issues are marked on the PR by CI please fix them. No broken PR will be reviewed.
  3. Once the quality checks are OK, and you need your PR to be reviewed you must use the label Need review. If your PR is still a work in progress, do not use any label but this means no review will be performed.
  4. The components owners will then identify who is going to do the review and then assign it. The reviewer will recieve an automatic mail notification.
  5. We use the new review system of github so you will know if the reviewer request changes, approve it or just add some comments.
  6. if any changes are requested please fix them and then once you are ready request a new review by ping the reviewer throw github

Git Commit Guidelines

We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history.

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

The header is mandatory and the scope of the header is optional.

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.

Revert

If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert: , followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: This reverts commit <hash>., where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.

Type

Must be one of the following:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing tests
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation

Scope

The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. Most of the time it shoulb be Jira ticket reference followed by a usefull context.

For example service, controller, etc...

Subject

The subject contains succinct description of the change:

  • use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
  • don't capitalize first letter
  • no dot (.) at the end

Body

Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.

Footer

The footer should contain

  • any information about Breaking Changes

Breaking Changes should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE: with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
