We'd love for you to contribute to our source code! Here are the guidelines we'd like you to follow:

Code of Conduct

Help us stay open and inclusive by following our Code of Conduct.

Found an Issue?

If you find a bug in the source code or a mistake in the documentation, you can help us by submitting an issue to our GitHub issue tracker. Even better you can submit a Pull Request with a fix 😍.

Please see the Submission Guidelines below.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account
  • 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.
  • Fork the repository into your account on GitHub

Coding Rules

To ensure consistency throughout the source code, please keep these rules in mind as you are working:

  • All features or bug fixes must be tested by one or more unit tests.
  • We follow the conventions contained in:
  • The master branch is continuously integrated by Travis-CI, and all tests must pass before merging.

Making Changes

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the master branch.
    • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on master; git checkout -b fix/master/my_contribution master. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
  • Create your patch, including appropriate test cases.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Run make to make sure the code passes all tests.
  • Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository in the ccnmtl organization.
  • The core team reviews Pull Requests on a regular basis, and will provide feedback
