Our project welcomes external contributions. To contribute code or documentation, please submit a pull request.
A good way to familiarize yourself with the codebase and contribution process is to look for and tackle low-hanging fruit in the issue tracker.
If you would like to implement a new feature, like a utility or helper functions, please raise an issue before sending a pull request so the feature can be discussed. This is to avoid you wasting your valuable time working on a feature that the project developers are not interested in accepting into the code base.
If you would like to fix a bug, please raise an issue before sending a pull request so it can be tracked.
Each source file must include a license header for the Apache Software License 2.0. Using the SPDX format is the simplest approach. For example:
/*
Copyright <holder> All Rights Reserved.
SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
*/We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions. This applies to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution. We use the same approach - the Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 (DCO) - that the Linux® Kernel community uses to manage code contributions.
We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review, the developer must include a sign-off statement in the commit message.
Here is an example Signed-off-by line, which indicates that the submitter accepts the DCO:
Signed-off-by: John Doe <[email protected]>
You can include this automatically when you commit a change to your local git repository using the following command:
git commit -sFeel free to create an issue to question or discuss anything with us.
