Contributing

We love contributions! You are welcome to open a pull request, but it's a good idea to open an issue and discuss your idea with us first.

Once you are ready to open a PR, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Code should be go fmt compliant.
  2. Types, structs and funcs should be documented.
  3. Tests pass.

Getting set up

godo uses go modules. Just fork this repo, clone your fork and off you go!

Running tests

When working on code in this repository, tests can be run via:

go test -mod=vendor .

Versioning

Godo follows semver versioning semantics. New functionality should be accompanied by increment to the minor version number. Any code merged to main is subject to release.

Releasing

Releasing a new version of godo is currently a manual process.

Submit a separate pull request for the version change from the pull request with your changes.

  1. Update the CHANGELOG.md with your changes. If a version header for the next (unreleased) version does not exist, create one. Include one bullet point for each piece of new functionality in the release, including the pull request ID, description, and author(s). For example:
## [v1.8.0] - 2019-03-13

- #210 - @jcodybaker - Expose tags on storage volume create/list/get.
- #123 - @digitalocean - Update test dependencies

To generate a list of changes since the previous release in the correct format, you can use github-changelog-generator. It can be installed from source by running:

go get -u github.com/digitalocean/github-changelog-generator

Next, list the changes by running:

github-changelog-generator -org digitalocean -repo godo
  1. Update the libraryVersion number in godo.go.
  2. Make a pull request with these changes. This PR should be separate from the PR containing the godo changes.
  3. Once the pull request has been merged, draft a new release.
  4. Update the Tag version and Release title field with the new godo version. Be sure the version has a v prefixed in both places. Ex v1.8.0.
  5. Copy the changelog bullet points to the description field.
  6. Publish the release.
