Contributing to ORY {{Project}}

Introduction

Please note: We take ORY {{Project}}'s security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in ORY {{Project}}, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at office@ory.sh.

First: if you're unsure or afraid of anything, just ask or submit the issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at for giving it your best effort. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the way of that.

That said, if you want to ensure that a pull request is likely to be merged, talk to us! You can find out our thoughts and ensure that your contribution won't clash or be obviated by ORY {{Project}}'s normal direction. A great way to do this is via the ORY Community or join the ORY Chat.

Contributing Code

Unless you are fixing a known bug, we strongly recommend discussing it with the core team via a GitHub issue or in our chat before getting started to ensure your work is consistent with ORY {{Project}}'s roadmap and architecture.

All contributions are made via pull request. Note that all patches from all contributors get reviewed. After a pull request is made other contributors will offer feedback, and if the patch passes review a maintainer will accept it with a comment. When pull requests fail testing, authors are expected to update their pull requests to address the failures until the tests pass and the pull request merges successfully.

At least one review from a maintainer is required for all patches (even patches from maintainers).

Reviewers should leave a "LGTM" comment once they are satisfied with the patch. If the patch was submitted by a maintainer with write access, the pull request should be merged by the submitter after review.

Disclosing vulnerabilities

Please disclose vulnerabilities exclusively to security@ory.sh. Do not use GitHub issues.

Code Style

Please follow these guidelines when formatting source code:

  • Go code should match the output of gofmt -s and pass golangci-lint run.
  • NodeJS and JavaScript code should be prettified using npm run format where appropriate.

Documentation

Please provide documentation when changing, removing, or adding features. Documentation resides in the project's docs folder.

In cases where a project does not have a docs folder check the README for instructions.

The commands listed below work exclusively for projects with a docs folder

Develop

To change the documentation locally, you need NodeJS installed and the project checked out locally. Next, cd into docs and install the dependencies:

$ cd docs
$ npm install

Start

To start a local development server with hot reloading, run:

$ npm start

This command opens up a browser window. Please note that changes to the sidebar are not hot-reloaded and require a restart of the command.

Build

The npm build generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

$ npm build

Pull request procedure

To make a pull request, you will need a GitHub account; if you are unclear on this process, see GitHub's documentation on forking and pull requests. Pull requests should be targeted at the master branch. Before creating a pull request, go through this checklist:

  1. Create a feature branch off of master so that changes do not get mixed up.
  2. Rebase your local changes against the master branch.
  3. Run the full project test suite with the go test ./... (or equivalent) command and confirm that it passes.
  4. Run gofmt -s (if the project is written in Go).
  5. Ensure that each commit has a subsystem prefix (ex: controller:).

Pull requests will be treated as "review requests," and maintainers will give feedback on the style and substance of the patch.

Normally, all pull requests must include tests that test your change. Occasionally, a change will be very difficult to test for. In those cases, please include a note in your commit message explaining why.

How We Organize Our Work

All repositories in the ORY organization have their issues and pull requests monitored in the ORY Monitoring Board. This allows for a transparent backlog of unanswered issues and pull requests across the ecosystem from those who are allowed to merge pull requests to the main branch.

The process is as follows:

  1. Cards represent open issues and pull requests and are automatically assigned to the Triage column if the author is not one of the maintainers and no maintainer has answered yet.
  2. A maintainer assigns the issue or pull request to someone or adds the label help wanted which moves the card to Requires Action.
  3. If a maintainer leaves a comment or review, the card moves to Pending Reply, implying that the original author needs to do something (e.g. implement a change, explain something in more detail, ...).
  4. If a non-maintainer pushes changes to the pull request or leaves a comment, the card moves back to Requires Action.
  5. If a card stays inactive for 60 days or more days, we assume that public interest in the issue or change has waned, archiving the card.
  6. If the issue is closed or the pull request merged or closed, the card is archived as well.

We try our best to answer all issues and review all pull requests and hope that this transparent way of keeping a backlog helps you better understand how heavy the workload is.

Communication

We use Slack. You are welcome to drop in and ask questions, discuss bugs, etc.
