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 Docker 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* docker.
Discuss your design on the mailing list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We recommend discussing your plans `on the mailing
list <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/docker-club>`__
before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions.
This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right
direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone
else is working on the same thing.
Create issues...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any significant improvement should be documented as `a github
issue <https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues>`__ before anybody
starts working on it.
...but check for existing issues first!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please take a moment to check that an issue doesn't already exist
documenting your bug report or improvement proposal. If it does, it
never hurts to add a quick "+1" or "I have this problem too". This will
help prioritize the most common problems and requests.
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.
Make sure you include relevant updates or additions to documentation when
creating or modifying features.
Write clean code. Universally formatted code promotes ease of writing, reading,
and maintenance. Always run ``go fmt`` before committing your changes. Most
editors have plugins that do this automatically, and there's also a git
pre-commit hook:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -o .git/hooks/pre-commit https://raw.github.com/edsrzf/gofmt-git-hook/master/fmt-check && chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
Pull requests descriptions should be as clear as possible and include a
reference to all the issues that they address.
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.
Add your name to the AUTHORS file, but make sure the list is sorted and your
name and email address match your git configuration. The AUTHORS file is
regenerated occasionally from the git commit history, so a mismatch may result
in your changes being overwritten.
