# Contribution Guidelines
Any type of contribution is welcome; from new features, bug fixes, tests,
refactorings for easier maintainability or documentation improvements.
## Development environment
- [`node`](https://nodejs.org/en/) at least current LTS
- [`helm`](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
- `make` is optional; you may call the commands directly
When using Visual Studio Code as IDE, following plugins might be useful:
- [Markdown All in One](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=yzhang.markdown-all-in-one)
- [markdownlint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint)
- [Helm Intellisense](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Tim-Koehler.helm-intellisense)
## Documentation Requirements
The `README.md` must include all configuration options. The parameters section
is generated by extracting the parameter annotations from the `values.yaml` file,
by using [this tool](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/readme-generator-for-helm).
If changes were made on configuration options, run `make readme` to update the
README file.
## Pull Request Requirements
When submitting or updating a PR:
- make sure it passes CI builds.
- do not make independent changes in one PR.
- try to avoid rebases. They make code reviews for large PRs and comments much harder.
- if applicable, use the PR template for a well-defined PR description.
- clearly mark breaking changes.
## Local development & testing
For local development and testing of pull requests, the following workflow can
be used:
1. Install `minikube` and `helm`.
2. Start a `minikube` cluster via `minikube start`.
3. From the `gitea/helm-chart` directory execute the following command. This
will install the dependencies listed in `Chart.yml` and deploy the current
state of the helm chart found locally. If you want to test a branch, make
sure to switch to the respective branch first.
`helm install --dependency-update gitea . -f values.yaml`.
4. Gitea is now deployed in `minikube`. To access it, it's port needs to be
forwarded first from `minikube` to localhost first via `kubectl --namespace
default port-forward svc/gitea-http 3000:3000`. Now Gitea is accessible at
[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
### Unit tests
```bash
# install the unittest plugin
$ helm plugin install https://github.com/heyhabito/helm-unittest
# run the unittests
make unittests
```
