# Contributing to Dagger
|
|
|
|
## GitHub Workflow
|
|
|
|
The recommended workflow is to clone the repository from `dagger/dagger` and
|
|
open pull requests from your own fork.
|
|
|
|
### 1) Cloning the repository
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/dagger/dagger.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: If you cloned your fork, either switch back to `dagger/dagger` using
|
|
`git remote` or start over.
|
|
|
|
### 2) Forking
|
|
|
|
- Click on the _Fork_ button on GitHub
|
|
- Add your fork as a remote
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git remote add fork git@github.com:MYFORK/dagger.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3) Creating a Pull Request
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# create a branch
|
|
git checkout -b mybranch
|
|
|
|
# make chances to your branch, use `git commit -s`, ...
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
# push the branch to your own fork
|
|
git push -u fork mybranch
|
|
|
|
# create a pull request from https://github.com/dagger/dagger
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4) Rebasing
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git checkout main
|
|
git pull # <-- this will pull from `dagger/dagger`
|
|
git checkout mybranch
|
|
git rebase main # <-- this will rebase `dagger/dagger` into your `FORK/dagger`
|
|
git push -f -u fork mybranch # <-- update the pull request
|
|
```
|
|

## Commits
|
|
|
|
### DCO
|
|
|
|
Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Developer Certificate of
|
|
Origin (DCO).
|
|
|
|
All commit messages must contain the Signed-off-by line with an email address that matches the commit author. When commiting, use the `--signoff` flag:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git commit -s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The Signed-off-by line must match the **author's real name**, otherwise the PR will be rejected.
|

### Commit Messages
|
|
|
|
[How to Write a Git Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
|
|
|
|
Guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- Group Commits: Each commit should represent a meaningful change (e.g. implement
|
|
feature X, fix bug Y, ...).
|
|
- For instance, a PR should not look like _1) Add Feature X 2) Fix Typo 3) Changes to features X 5) Bugfix for feature X 6) Fix Linter 7) ..._
|
|
- Instead, these commits should be squashed together into a single "Add Feature"
|
|
commit.
|
|
- Each commit should work on its own: it must compile, pass the linter and so on.
|
|
- This makes life much easier when using `git log`, `git blame`, `git bisect`, etc.
|
|
- For instance, when doing a `git blame` on a file to figure out why a change
|
|
was introduced, it's pretty meaningless to see a _Fix linter_ commit message.
|
|
"Add Feature X" is much more meaningful.
|
|
- Use `git rebase -i main` to group commits together and rewrite their commit message
|
|
- To add changes to the previous commit, use `git commit --amend -s`. This will
|
|
change the last commit (amend) instead of creating a new commit.
|
|
- Format: Use the imperative mood in the subject line: "If applied, this commit
|
|
will _your subject line here_"

## FAQ

|
|
### How to run the markdown linter locally
|
|
|
|
First install `markdownlint-cli`:
|
|
|
|
- On Mac OS: `brew install markdownlint-cli`
|
|
- On other systems, with yarn installed: `yarn global add markdownlint-cli`
|
|
|
|
Then from the repository root:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
markdownlint -c .markdownlint.yaml docs/**/*.md
|
|
```
