Contributing workflow

New Contributors

  1. Search the issues to see if there is an existing issue. If not, open an issue (note the issue ID).

  2. Fork the repository to your personal namespace (only need to do this once).

  3. Clone the repo from your personal namespace.

    git clone https://github.com/{username}/terraform-aws-vmseries-modules.git Ensure that {username} is your user name.

    clone

  4. Add the source repository as an upsteam.

    git remote add upstream https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/terraform-aws-vmseries-modules.git

  5. Create a branch which corresponds to the issue ID created in step 1.

    For example, if the issue ID is 101: git checkout -b 101-updating-wildfire-templates

  6. Make the desired changes and commit to your local repository.

  7. Run the pre-commit script. See the tools section for more information. NOTE If making changes that will update the Terraform docs, this will need to be run twice.

  8. Push changes to your repository

    git push origin/101-updating-wildfire-templates

  9. Rebase with the upstream to resolve any potential conflicts.

    git rebase upstream dev

  10. Open a Pull Request and link it to the issue (reference the issue, i.e. "fixes #233")

  11. Once the PR has been merged, delete your local branch

    git branch -D 101-updating-wildfire-templates

Existing Contributors

  1. Search the issues to see if there is an existing issue. If not, open an issue (note the issue ID).

  2. Update from the source repository.

    git pull upstream dev

  3. Create a branch which corresponds to the issue ID created in step 1.

    For example, if the issue ID is 101: git checkout -b 101-updating-wildfire-templates

  4. Make any changes, and ensure the commit messages are clear and consistent (reference the issue ID and type of change in all commit messages)

  5. Document the changes (update the README and any other relevant documents)

  6. Run the pre-commit script. See the tools section for more information. NOTE If making changes that will update the Terraform docs, this will need to be run twice.

  7. Push changes to your repository

    git push origin/101-updating-wildfire-templates

  8. Rebase with the upstream to resolve any potential conflicts.

    git rebase upstream dev

  9. Open a Pull Request and link it to the issue (reference the issue, i.e. "fixes #233")

  10. Once the PR has been merged, delete your local branch

    git branch -D 101-updating-wildfire-templates

Tools

Any serious changes, especially any changes of variables or providers, require the pre-commit tool. Install the recommended versions:

For more details, or for a dockerized pre-commit-terraform, see the official guide.

For these Contributors who prefer not to use the recommended git hooks, the command to fully update the auto-generated README files and to run formatters/tests is:

pre-commit run -a

This command does not commit/add/push any changes to Git. It only changes local files.

The first time pre-commit is run, it is possible to show "FAILED" if any docs were updated. This is expected behavior. Simply run pre-commit again and it should pass. Once all pre-commit tests pass, make another commit to check in those changes and push.

Coding Standards

Please follow the Terraform conventions.

Publish a new release (for maintainers)

Test the release process

Testing the workflow requires node, npm, and semantic-release to be installed locally:

npm install -g semantic-release@^17.1.1 @semantic-release/git@^9.0.0 @semantic-release/exec@^5.0.0 conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits@^4.4.0

Run semantic-release on develop:

semantic-release --dry-run --no-ci --branches=develop

Verify in the output that the next version is set correctly, and the release notes are generated correctly.

Merge develop to main and push

git checkout main
git merge develop
git push origin main

At this point, GitHub Actions builds and tags the release.

Merge main to develop and push

Now, sync develop to main to add any commits made by the release bot.

git fetch --all --tags
git pull origin main
git checkout develop
git merge main
git push origin develop
