New Pull Request

---


A pull request for Phalcon must be against our [main repositorycphalcon. It is a collection of changes to the code that: - fix a bug (current issue) - introduce new functionality or enhancement.

Your pull request must include: * Target the correct branch. * Update the relevant CHANGELOG.md * Contain unit tests * Updates to the documentation and usage examples as necessary * Your code must abide by the coding standards that Phalcon uses. For PHP code we use PSR-2 while for Zephir code, we have an .editorconfig file available at the root of the repository to help you follow the standards.

NOTE: We do not accept Pull Requests to the master branch {:.alert .alert-danger}

If your pull request relates to fixing an issue/bug, please link the issue number in the pull request body. You can utilize the template we have in GitHub to present this information. If no issue exists, please create one.

For new functionality, we will need to have an issue created and referenced. If the functionality you are introducing collides with the philosophy and implementation of Phalcon, the pull request will be rejected.

Additionally any new functionality that introduces breaking changes will not be accepted for the current release but instead will need to be updated to target the next major version.

It is highly recommended to discuss your NFR and PR with the core team and most importantly with the community so as to get feedback, guidance and to work on a release plan that will benefit everyone.

Branch and Commits

The following steps are recommended but not mandatory.

If you are working on an issue, note the number of the issue down. Let us assume that the issue is:

#12345 - Create New Object

• Checkout the 4.0.x branch
• Create a branch: T12345-create-new-object

The name of the branch starts with T, followed by the number of the issue and then the title of the issue as a slug.

In your cphalcon folder navigate to .git/hooks

Create a new file called commit-msg and paste the code below in it and save it:

#!/bin/bash
# This Way You can Customize Which Branches Should be Skipped When
# Prepending Commit Message.
if [ -z "$BRANCHES_TO_SKIP" ]; then
  BRANCHES_TO_SKIP=(master develop)
fi
BRANCH_NAME=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
BRANCH_NAME="${BRANCH_NAME##*/}"
BRANCH_EXCLUDED=$(printf "%s\n" "${BRANCHES_TO_SKIP[@]}" | grep -c "^$BRANCH_NAME$")
BRANCH_IN_COMMIT=$(grep -c "\[$BRANCH_NAME\]" $1)
if [ -n "$BRANCH_NAME" ] && ! [[ $BRANCH_EXCLUDED -eq 1 ]] && ! [[ $BRANCH_IN_COMMIT -ge 1 ]]; then
  ISSUE="$(echo $BRANCH_NAME | cut -d'-' -f 1)"
  ISSUE="${ISSUE/T/#}"
  sed -i.bak -e "1s/^/[$ISSUE] - /" $1
fi

Ensure that the file is executable

chmod a+x commit-msg

Any commits you add now to your branch will appear tied to the 12345 issue.

Doing the above allows everyone to see which commits relate to which issue.
