Third-party patches are essential for keeping open hackathon great. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes that get things working in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
- Make sure you have a GitHub account
- Fork the repository on GitHub
- Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
- Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
- Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
- Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work. This is usually the master branch.
- Make commits of logical units.
- Check for unnecessary whitespace with
git diff --checkbefore committing. - Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
- Make sure you have tested for your changes.
- Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
- Submit a pull request to the repository in the puppetlabs organization.
- The core team looks at Pull Requests.
- After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks we may close the pull request if it isn't showing any activity.
