How to contribute

Please note:

  • (Optional) We adopt Git Flow. Most feature branches are pushed to the repository and deleted when merged to develop branch.
  • (Important): Submit pull requests to the develop branch or feature/ branches
  • Use GitHub Issues for feature requests and bug reports. Include as much information as possible while reporting bugs.

Contributing (Step-by-step)

  1. Fork the repo and clone it to your local computer, and set up the upstream remote:

     git clone https://github.com/YourGithubUsername/ckblib.git
 cd ckblib
 git remote add upstream https://github.com/dermatologist/ckblib.git

  2. Checkout out a new local branch based on your master and update it to the latest (BRANCH-123 is the branch name, You can name it whatever you want. Try to give it a meaningful name. If you are fixing an issue, please include the issue #).

     git checkout -b BRANCH-123 develop
 git clean -df
 git pull --rebase upstream develop

Please keep your code clean. If you find another bug, you want to fix while being in a new branch, please fix it in a separated branch instead.

  1. Push the branch to your fork. Treat it as a backup.

     git push origin BRANCH-123

  2. Code

  • Adhere to common conventions you see in the existing code.
  • Include tests as much as possible, and ensure they pass.

  1. Commit to your branch

      git commit -m "BRANCH-123: Put change summary here (can be a ticket title)"

NEVER leave the commit message blank! Provide a detailed, clear, and complete description of your commit!

  1. Update your branch to the latest code.

     git pull --rebase upstream develop

  2. Important If you have made many commits, please squash them into atomic units of work. (Most Git GUIs such as sourcetree and smartgit offer a squash option)

     git checkout develop
 git pull --rebase upstream develop
 git merge --squash BRANCH-123
 git commit -m "fix: 123"
