VMware uses GitHub and accepts code contributions via pull requests. If you wish to contribute code and you have not signed our contributor license agreement (CLA), our bot will update the issue when you open a Pull Request. For any questions about the CLA process, please refer to our FAQ.
Follow these steps to make a contribution to any of our open source repositories:
- If your contribution includes a change that is exposed to cf CLI users (e.g. introducing a new command or flag), please submit an issue to discuss it first.
- Fork the project’s repository and add a remote (e.g.
git remote add my_fork ...) - Create a feature branch (e.g.
git checkout -b my_cool_feature) and make changes on your branch - Build the plugin, run the tests, and check that the plugin works as intended when installed
- Push to your fork (e.g.
git push my_fork my_cool_feature) and submit a pull request
If you have a CLA on file, your contribution will be analyzed for product fit and engineering quality prior to merging.
Notes:
- All contributions need to be sent using GitHub Pull Requests, preferably consisting of a single commit
- Tests are required for any changes
- We favor small pull requests with a single clearly-defined purpose
- Your pull request is much more likely to be accepted if it has a clear log message which conveys the intent of your change
