## Contribution Guidelines
|
|
|
|
### Pull requests are always welcome
|
|
|
|
We are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to
|
|
process them as fast as possible. Not sure if that typo is worth a pull
|
|
request? Do it! We will appreciate it.
|
|
|
|
If your pull request is not accepted on the first try, don't be
|
|
discouraged! If there's a problem with the implementation, hopefully you
|
|
received feedback on what to improve.
|
|
|
|
We're trying very hard to keep go-swagger lean and focused. We don't want it
|
|
to do everything for everybody. This means that we might decide against
|
|
incorporating a new feature. However, there might be a way to implement
|
|
that feature *on top of* go-swagger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Conventions
|
|
|
|
Fork the repo and make changes on your fork in a feature branch:
|
|
|
|
- If it's a bugfix branch, name it XXX-something where XXX is the number of the
|
|
issue
|
|
- If it's a feature branch, create an enhancement issue to announce your
|
|
intentions, and name it XXX-something where XXX is the number of the issue.
|
|
|
|
Submit unit tests for your changes. Go has a great test framework built in; use
|
|
it! Take a look at existing tests for inspiration. Run the full test suite on
|
|
your branch before submitting a pull request.
|
|
|
|
Update the documentation when creating or modifying features. Test
|
|
your documentation changes for clarity, concision, and correctness, as
|
|
well as a clean documentation build. See ``docs/README.md`` for more
|
|
information on building the docs and how docs get released.
|
|
|
|
Write clean code. Universally formatted code promotes ease of writing, reading,
|
|
and maintenance. Always run `gofmt -s -w file.go` on each changed file before
|
|
committing your changes. Most editors have plugins that do this automatically.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests descriptions should be as clear as possible and include a
|
|
reference to all the issues that they address.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests must not contain commits from other users or branches.
|
|
|
|
Commit messages must start with a capitalized and short summary (max. 50
|
|
chars) written in the imperative, followed by an optional, more detailed
|
|
explanatory text which is separated from the summary by an empty line.
|
|
|
|
Code review comments may be added to your pull request. Discuss, then make the
|
|
suggested modifications and push additional commits to your feature branch. Be
|
|
sure to post a comment after pushing. The new commits will show up in the pull
|
|
request automatically, but the reviewers will not be notified unless you
|
|
comment.
|
|
|
|
Before the pull request is merged, make sure that you squash your commits into
|
|
logical units of work using `git rebase -i` and `git push -f`. After every
|
|
commit the test suite should be passing. Include documentation changes in the
|
|
same commit so that a revert would remove all traces of the feature or fix.
|
|
|
|
Commits that fix or close an issue should include a reference like `Closes #XXX`
|
|
or `Fixes #XXX`, which will automatically close the issue when merged.
|
|
|
|
### Sign your work
|
|
|
|
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](http://developercertificate.org/)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
