Hi there! We are thrilled that you would like to contribute to OpenTalaria. Contributions are always welcome, both reporting issues and submitting pull requests!
Contributions to this project are released to the public under the project's opensource license. By contributing to this project you agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The DCO was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a simple statement that you, as a contributor, wrote or otherwise have the legal right to contribute those changes.
Contributors must sign-off that they adhere to these requirements by adding a Signed-off-by line to all commit messages with an email address that matches the commit author:
feat: this is my commit message
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
Git even has a -s command line option to append this automatically to your
commit message:
$ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
Note if you want to automatically sign-off all commits, follow the steps in this StackOverflow answer.
- Fork and clone the repository
- Create a new branch:
git checkout -b my-branch-name - Make your change, push to your fork and submit a pull request
- Wait for your pull request to be reviewed and merged.
Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:
- Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.
- Write a good commit message.
