How to contribute

Thanks for your interest in the project! We want to welcome contributors so we put together the following set of guidelines to help participate.

Workflow

  • Did you find a bug?

    Awesome! Please feel free to open an issue first, or if you have a fix open a pull request that describes the bug with code that demonstrates the bug in a test and addresses it.

  • Do you want to add a feature?

    Features begin life as a proposal. Please open a pull request with a proposal that explains the feature, its use case, considerations, and design. This will allow interested contributors to weigh in, refine the idea, and ensure there's no wasted time in the event a feature doesn't fit with our direction.

Setup

  • Ensure you're using golang 1.10+.

    go version

  • Install [dep][dep] if not present on your system. See their [installation instructions][dep-install] and [releases page][dep-releases] for details.

  • Install the source code from GitHub

    go get github.com/turnerlabs/fargate-create

  • Run dep ensure to install required dependencies

    cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/turnerlabs/fargate-create
dep ensure

  • Make sure you can run the tests

    make test

Testing

  • Tests can be run via go test or make test

  • To generate mocks as you add functionality, run make mocks or use go generate directly

Building

  • To build a binary for your platform run make

  • For cross-building for all supported platforms, run make dist which builds binaries for darwin (64-bit) and linux (Arm, 32-bit, 64-bit).

Making Changes

  • Create a feature branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the develop branch.
    • To quickly create a feature branch; git checkout -b feature/my-feature. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Run go fmt ./cmd before committing.
  • Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
  • Run all the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a feature branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the develop branch to the repository in the turnerlabs organization.

Release Process

  • After a feature pull request has been merged into the develop branch, a CI build will be automatically kicked off. The CI build will run unit tests, do a multi-platform build and automatically deploy the build to the Github releases page as a pre-release using the latest tag (git describe --tags) as the version number.
  • After the core team decides which features will be included in the next release, a release branch is created (e.g., release/v0.5) from develop.
  • The CHANGELOG.md file is updated to document the release in the release branch.
  • The release branch is merged to master, tagged, and pushed (along with tags).
  • This will kick off a build that builds using the latest tag and deploys as a Github release.
  • The release branch is then merged back to develop, tagged for pre-release (to start next version, e.g. v0.6.0-pre) and pushed.
