# Contributing
|
||
|
|
||
|
We welcome contributions from the community. Please read the following guidelines carefully to maximize the chances of your PR being merged.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Coding Style
|
||
|
|
||
|
- To ensure your change passes format checks, run `make check`. To format your files, you can run `make format`.
|
||
|
- We follow standard Go table-driven tests and use an internal [testing library](./internal/testing/require) to assert correctness. To verify all tests pass, you can run `make test`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## DCO
|
||
|
|
||
|
We require DCO signoff line in every commit to this repo.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
|
||
|
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
|
||
|
pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
|
||
|
can certify the below (from
|
||
|
[developercertificate.org](https://developercertificate.org/)):
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Developer Certificate of Origin
|
||
|
Version 1.1
|
||
|
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
|
||
|
660 York Street, Suite 102,
|
||
|
San Francisco, CA 94110 USA
|
||
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
||
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
||
|
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
||
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
||
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
||
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
||
|
indicated in the file; or
|
||
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
||
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
||
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
||
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
||
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
||
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
||
|
in the file; or
|
||
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
||
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
||
|
it.
|
||
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
||
|
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
|
||
|
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
||
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
||
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
then you just add a line to every git commit message:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe@gmail.com>
|
||
|
|
||
|
using your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can add the sign off when creating the git commit via `git commit -s`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Code Reviews
|
||
|
|
||
|
* The pull request title should describe what the change does and not embed issue numbers.
|
||
|
The pull request should only be blank when the change is minor. Any feature should include
|
||
|
a description of the change and what motivated it. If the change or design changes through
|
||
|
review, please keep the title and description updated accordingly.
|
||
|
* A single approval is sufficient to merge. If a reviewer asks for
|
||
|
changes in a PR they should be addressed before the PR is merged,
|
||
|
even if another reviewer has already approved the PR.
|
||
|
* During the review, address the comments and commit the changes
|
||
|
_without_ squashing the commits. This facilitates incremental reviews
|
||
|
since the reviewer does not go through all the code again to find out
|
||
|
what has changed since the last review. When a change goes out of sync with main,
|
||
|
please rebase and force push, keeping the original commits where practical.
|
||
|
* Commits are squashed prior to merging a pull request, using the title
|
||
|
as commit message by default. Maintainers may request contributors to
|
||
|
edit the pull request tite to ensure that it remains descriptive as a
|
||
|
commit message. Alternatively, maintainers may change the commit message directly.
