# Contributing Guidelines
|
|
|
|
source{d} go-git project is [Apache 2.0 licensed](LICENSE) and accepts
|
|
contributions via GitHub pull requests. This document outlines some of the
|
|
conventions on development workflow, commit message formatting, contact points,
|
|
and other resources to make it easier to get your contribution accepted.
|
|
|
|
## Certificate of Origin
|
|
|
|
By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
|
|
Origin (DCO)](DCO). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
|
|
simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
|
|
contribution.
|
|
|
|
In order to show your agreement with the DCO you should include at the end of commit message,
|
|
the following line: `Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>`, using your real name.
|
|
|
|
This can be done easily using the [`-s`](https://github.com/git/git/blob/b2c150d3aa82f6583b9aadfecc5f8fa1c74aca09/Documentation/git-commit.txt#L154-L161) flag on the `git commit`.
|
|
|
|
## Support Channels
|
|
|
|
The official support channels, for both users and contributors, are:
|
|
|
|
- [StackOverflow go-git tag](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/go-git) for user questions.
|
|
- GitHub [Issues](https://github.com/src-d/go-git/issues)* for bug reports and feature requests.
|
|
- Slack: #go-git room in the [source{d} Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/sourced-community/shared_invite/enQtMjc4Njk5MzEyNzM2LTFjNzY4NjEwZGEwMzRiNTM4MzRlMzQ4MmIzZjkwZmZlM2NjODUxZmJjNDI1OTcxNDAyMmZlNmFjODZlNTg0YWM)
|
|
|
|
*Before opening a new issue or submitting a new pull request, it's helpful to
|
|
search the project - it's likely that another user has already reported the
|
|
issue you're facing, or it's a known issue that we're already aware of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to Contribute
|
|
|
|
Pull Requests (PRs) are the main and exclusive way to contribute to the official go-git project.
|
|
In order for a PR to be accepted it needs to pass a list of requirements:
|
|
|
|
- You should be able to run the same query using `git`. We don't accept features that are not implemented in the official git implementation.
|
|
- The expected behavior must match the [official git implementation](https://github.com/git/git).
|
|
- The actual behavior must be correctly explained with natural language and providing a minimum working example in Go that reproduces it.
|
|
- All PRs must be written in idiomatic Go, formatted according to [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/), and without any warnings from [go lint](https://github.com/golang/lint) nor [go vet](https://golang.org/cmd/vet/).
|
|
- They should in general include tests, and those shall pass.
|
|
- If the PR is a bug fix, it has to include a suite of unit tests for the new functionality.
|
|
- If the PR is a new feature, it has to come with a suite of unit tests, that tests the new functionality.
|
|
- In any case, all the PRs have to pass the personal evaluation of at least one of the [maintainers](MAINTAINERS) of go-git.
|
|
|
|
### Format of the commit message
|
|
|
|
Every commit message should describe what was changed, under which context and, if applicable, the GitHub issue it relates to:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
plumbing: packp, Skip argument validations for unknown capabilities. Fixes #623
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The format can be described more formally as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<package>: <subpackage>, <what changed>. [Fixes #<issue-number>]
|
|
```
