Contributing Thanks for your interest in contributing! This document contains GenQL specific contributing details.
Getting started There are there general ways you can contribute to this repo:
Proposing an enhancement or new feature Reporting a bug or regression Contributing changes to the source code For the first two, refer to the GitHub Issues which guides you through the available options along with the needed information to collect.
Contributing changes Prior to opening a pull request, it is recommended to open an issue first to ensure the maintainers can review intended changes. Exceptions to this rule include fixing non-functional source such as code comments, documentation or other supporting files.
Proposing source code changes is done through GitHub's standard pull request workflow.
If your branch is a work-in-progress then please start by creating your pull requests as draft, by clicking the down-arrow next to the Create pull request button and instead selecting Create draft pull request.
Guidelines A good pull request includes:
A high-level description of the changes, including links to any issues that are related by adding comments like Resolves #NNN to your description. See Linking a Pull Request to an Issue for more information. An up-to-date parent commit. Please make sure you are pulling in the latest main branch and rebasing your work on top of it, i.e. git rebase main. Unit tests where appropriate. Bug fixes will benefit from the addition of regression tests. New features will not be accepted without suitable test coverage! No more commits than necessary. Sometimes having multiple commits is useful for telling a story or isolating changes from one another, but please squash down any unnecessary commits that may just be for clean-up, comments or small changes. No additional external dependencies that aren't absolutely essential. Please do everything you can to avoid pulling in additional libraries/dependencies into go.mod as we will be very critical of these. Sign-off In order to accept a contribution, you will first need to certify that the contribution is your original work and that you license the work to the project under the Apache-2.0 license.
This is done by using Signed-off-by statements, which should appear in both your commit messages and your PR description. Please note that we can only accept sign-offs under a legal name. Nicknames and aliases are not permitted.
To perform a sign-off with git, use git commit -s (or --signoff).
