Welcome

There are a few things to consider before contributing to flagd.

Firstly, there's a code of conduct. TLDR: be respectful.

Any contributions are expected to include unit tests. These can be validated with make test or the automated github workflow will run them on PR creation.

This project uses a go workspace, to setup the project run

make workspace-init

The go version in the go.work is the currently supported version of go.

The project uses remote buf packages, changing the remote generation source will require a one-time registry configuration:

export GOPRIVATE=buf.build/gen/go

DCO Sign-Off

A DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) sign-off is a line placed at the end of a commit message containing a contributor's "signature." In adding this, the contributor certifies that they have the right to contribute the material in question.

Here are the steps to sign your work:

  1. Verify the contribution in your commit complies with the terms of the DCO.

  2. Add a line like the following to your commit message:

    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@example.com>

    You MUST use your legal name -- handles or other pseudonyms are not permitted.

    While you could manually add DCO sign-off to every commit, there is an easier way:

    1. Configure your git client appropriately. This is one-time setup.

      git config user.name <legal name>
git config user.email <email address you use for GitHub>

      If you work on multiple projects that require a DCO sign-off, you can configure your git client to use these settings globally instead of only for Brigade:

      git config --global user.name <legal name>
git config --global user.email <email address you use for GitHub>

    2. Use the --signoff or -s (lowercase) flag when making each commit. For example:

      git commit --message "<commit message>" --signoff

      If you ever make a commit and forget to use the --signoff flag, you can amend your commit with this information before pushing:

      git commit --amend --signoff

    3. You can verify the above worked as expected using git log. Your latest commit should look similar to this one:

      Author: Joe Smith <joe.smith@example.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 2 11:41:15 2018 -0800

    Update README

    Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@example.com>

      Notice the Author and Signed-off-by lines match. If they do not, the PR will be rejected by the automated DCO check.

Conventional PR Titles

When raising PRs, please format according to conventional commit standards

For example: docs: some PR title here...

Thanks! Issues and pull requests following these guidelines are welcome.

Markdown Lint and Markdown Lint Fix

PRs are expected to conform to markdown lint rules.

Therefore, run make markdownlint-fix to auto-fix most issues. Then commit the results.

For those issues that cannot be auto-fixed, run make markdownlint then manually fix whatever it warns about.
