The Harbor Bosh Release project team welcomes contributions from the community. If you wish to contribute code and you have not signed our contributor license agreement (CLA), our bot will update the issue when you open a Pull Request. For any questions about the CLA process, please refer to our FAQ.
This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:
- Fork the repository on GitHub to your personal account.
- Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
- Make commits.
- Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format (see below).
- Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
- Test your changes locally.
- Submit a pull request.
- Your PR must receive approvals from component owners before merging.
Example:
git checkout -b my-new-feature
git commit -a
git push origin my-new-feature
When your branch gets out of sync with the upstream/master branch, use the following to update it:
git checkout my-new-feature
git fetch -a
git rebase upstream/master
git push origin my-new-feature
If your PR fails to pass CI or needs changes based on code review, you'll most likely want to squash these changes into existing commits.
If your pull request contains a single commit or your changes are related to the most recent commit, you can simply amend the commit.
git add .
git commit --amend
git push -f origin my-new-feature
If you need to squash changes into an earlier commit, you can use:
git add .
git commit --fixup <commit>
git rebase -i --autosquash upstream/master
git push -f origin my-new-feature
Be sure to add a comment to the PR indicating your new changes are ready to review, as GitHub does not generate a notification when you git push.
- Uses 2 spaces to replace a TAB.
- Try to limit column width to 120 characters for both code and markdown documents such as this doc.
- Add necessary comments in code. Code without comments is hard to read.
We follow the conventions on How to Write a Git Commit Message.
Be sure to include any related GitHub issue references in the commit message. See GFM syntax for referencing issues and commits.
