We love pull requests and we want to make it as easy as possible to contribute changes.
- Make sure you have a GitHub account.
- Maybe create a GitHub issue: is this a comment or documentation change? Does an issue already exist? If you need an issue then describe it in as much detail as you can, e.g. step-by-step to reproduce.
- Fork the repository on GitHub.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/gchq/urlDependencies-plugin.git - Create a branch for your change, probably from the master branch. Please don't work on master. Try this:
git checkout -b fix/master/my_contribution master
- Make your changes and test. Make sure you include new or updated tests if you need to.
- Run a full build from the project root:
./gradlew clean build.
- Sign the GCHQ Contributor Licence Agreement
- Push your changes to your fork.
- Submit a pull request.
- We'll look at it pretty soon after it's submitted, and we aim to respond within one week.
Here are some things you can do to make this all smoother:
- If you think it might be controversial then discuss it with us beforehand, via a GitHub issue.
- Add tests
- Write a good commit message.
