Contributing to the SQL Server Kit

Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.

Following these guidelines will help us get back to you more quickly, and will show that you care about making MySQLTuner better just like we do. In return, we'll do our best to respond to your issue or pull request as soon as possible with the same respect.

Please Note: These guidelines are adapted from @necolas's issue-guidelines and serve as an excellent starting point for contributing to any open source project.

Feature requests

Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible.

Building something great means choosing features carefully especially because it is much, much easier to add features than it is to take them away. Additions will be evaluated on a combination of scope (how well it fits into the project), maintenance burden and general usefulness.

Creating something great often means saying no to seemingly good ideas. Don't despair if your feature request isn't accepted, take action! Fork the repository, build your idea and share it with others. We released this project under the LICENSE for this purpose precisely. Open source works best when smart and dedicated people riff off of each others' ideas to make even greater things.

Pull requests

Good pull requests — patches, improvements, new features — are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code, porting to a different language), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's developers might not want to merge into the project. You can solicit feedback and opinions in an open feature request thread or create a new one.

Please use the git flow for pull requests and follow SQL Server KIT code conventions before submitting your work.

Git Flow for pull requests

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

    # Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone git@github.com:<YOUR_USERNAME>/sqlserver-kit.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd sqlserver-kit
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ktaranov/sqlserver-kit

  2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:

    git checkout master
git pull upstream master

  3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix:

    git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>

  4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these git commit message guidelines or your code is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use Git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.

  5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:

    git pull [--rebase] upstream master

  6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  7. Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description.

IMPORTANT: By submitting a patch, you agree to allow the project owner to license your work under the MIT LICENSE
