Thank you for your interest in Keploy and for taking the time to contribute to this project. 🙌 Keploy is a project by developers for developers and there are a lot of ways you can contribute.
If you don't know where to start contributing, ask us on our Slack channel.
Contributors are expected to adhere to the Code of Conduct.
Contributors should have knowledge of git, go, and markdown for most projects since the project work heavily depends on them. We encourage Contributors to set up Keploy for local development and play around with the code and tests to get more comfortable with the project.
Sections
To contribute to this project, you must agree to the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) for each commit you make. The DCO is a simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the contribution.
See the DCO file for the full text of what you must agree to and how it works here. To signify that you agree to the DCO for contributions, you simply add a line to each of your git commit messages:
Signed-off-by: Jane Smith <jane.smith@example.com>
In most cases, you can add this signoff to your commit automatically with the
-s or --signoff flag to git commit. You must use your real name and a reachable email
address (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions). An example of signing off on a commit:
$ commit -s -m “my commit message w/signoff”
To ensure all your commits are signed, you may choose to add this alias to your global .gitconfig:
~/.gitconfig
[alias]
amend = commit -s --amend
cm = commit -s -m
commit = commit -s
We encourage contributions from the community.
Create a GitHub issue for any changes beyond typos and small fixes.
We review GitHub issues and PRs on a regular schedule.
