Before you contribute

To contribute, use GitHub Pull Requests, from your own fork.

Also, make sure you have set up your Git authorship correctly:

git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
git config --global user.email [email protected]

If you use different computers to contribute, please make sure the name is the same on all your computers.

Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, need to be reviewed by a cos-fleetshard committers before being merged.

GitHub Pull Request Review Process is followed for every pull request.

Coding Guidelines

  • We decided to disallow @author tags in the Javadoc: they are hard to maintain
  • Commits should be atomic and semantic. Please properly squash your pull requests before submitting them. Fixup commits can be used temporarily during the review process but things should be squashed at the end to have meaningful commits. We use merge commits so the GitHub Merge button cannot do that for us. If you don't know how to do that, just ask in your pull request, we will be happy to help!

Continuous Integration

cos-fleetshard project CI is based on GitHub Actions, which means that everyone has the ability to automatically execute CI in their forks as part of the process of making changes. We ask that all non-trivial changes go through this process, so that the contributor gets immediate feedback, while at the same time keeping our CI fast and healthy for everyone.

Tests and documentation are not optional

Don't forget to include tests in your pull requests. Also don't forget the documentation (reference documentation, javadoc...).
