# Contribution Guidelines
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This document explains how to contribute changes to the Gitea
|
|
project. It assumes you have followed the [installation
|
|
instructions](https://github.com/go-gitea/docs/tree/master/en-US/installation)
|
|
|
|
Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to
|
|
[security@gitea.io](mailto:security@gitea.io).
|
|
|
|
## Bug reports
|
|
|
|
Please search the issues on the issue tracker with a variety of keywords
|
|
to ensure your bug is not already reported.
|
|
|
|
If unique, [open an issue](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/new)
|
|
and answer the questions so we can understand and reproduce the
|
|
problematic behavior.
|
|
|
|
The burden is on you to convince us that it is actually a bug
|
|
in Gitea. This is easiest to do when you write clear, concise
|
|
instructions so we can reproduce the behavior (even if it seems
|
|
obvious). The more detailed and specific you are, the faster
|
|
we will be able to help you. Check out [How to Report Bugs
|
|
Effectively](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html).
|
|
|
|
Please be kind, remember that Gitea comes at no cost to you, and you're
|
|
getting free help.
|
|
|
|
## Discuss your design
|
|
|
|
The project welcomes submissions but please let everyone know what
|
|
you're working on if you want to change or add something to the Gitea
|
|
repositories.
|
|
|
|
Before starting to write something new for the Gitea project, please
|
|
[file an issue](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/new).
|
|
Significant changes must go through the [change proposal
|
|
process](https://github.com/go-gitea/proposals) before they can be
|
|
accepted.
|
|
|
|
This process gives everyone a chance to validate the design, helps
|
|
prevent duplication of effort, and ensures that the idea fits inside
|
|
the goals for the project and tools. It also checks that the design is
|
|
sound before code is written; the code review tool is not the place for
|
|
high-level discussions.
|
|
|
|
## Testing redux
|
|
|
|
Before sending code out for review, run all the tests for the whole
|
|
tree to make sure the changes don't break other usage and keep the
|
|
compatibility on upgrade:
|
|
|
|
After running for a while, the command should print
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ALL TESTS PASSED
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Code review
|
|
|
|
Changes to Gitea must be reviewed before they are accepted, no matter
|
|
who makes the change even if an owners or a maintainer. We use github's
|
|
pull request workflow to do that and use [lgtm](http://lgtm.co) to ensure
|
|
every PR is reviewed by at least 2 maintainers.
|
|
|
|
## Sign your work
|
|
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
|
|
patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise
|
|
have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are
|
|
pretty simple: If you can certify [DCO](DCO), then you just add a line
|
|
to every git commit message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@email.com>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please use your real name, we really dislike pseudonyms or anonymous
|
|
contributions. We are in the opensource world without secrets. If you
|
|
set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
|
|
commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
|
|
|
|
## Contributors
|
|
|
|
Everyone who sent a PR to Gitea that gets accepted will
|
|
be as a contributor. Please send a PR to add your name to
|
|
[CONTRIBUTORS](CONTRIBUTORS). For the format, see the
|
|
[CONTRIBUTORS](CONTRIBUTORS).
|
|
|
|
## Maintainers
|
|
|
|
To make sure every PR have been checked, we make a team maintainers. Any
|
|
PR MUST be reviewed and by at least two maintainers before it can
|
|
get merged. Maintainers should be a contributor of gitea(or gogs) and
|
|
contributed at least 4 accepted PRs. And a contributor should apply as a
|
|
maintainer in [gitter Gitea develop](https://gitter.im/go-gitea/develop).
|
|
And the owners or the team maintainer could invite the contributor. A
|
|
maintainer should spend some time on code reviews. If some maintainer
|
|
have no time to do that, he should apply to leave maintainers team and
|
|
we will give him an honor to be as a member of advisor team. Of course,
|
|
if an advisor have time to code view, welcome it back to maintainers team.
|
|
If some one have no time to code view and forget to leave the maintainers,
|
|
the owners have the power to move him from maintainers team to advisors
|
|
team.
|
|
|
|
## Owners
|
|
|
|
Since Gitea is a pure community organization without any company
|
|
support, to keep the development healthly We will elect the owners every
|
|
year. Every time we will elect three owners. All the contributers could
|
|
vote for three owners, one is the main owner, the other two are assistant
|
|
owners. When the new owners have been elected, the old owners MUST move
|
|
the power to the new owners. If some owner don't obey these rules,
|
|
the other owners are allowed to revoke his owner status.
|
|
|
|
After the election, the new owners should say he agrees with these
|
|
rules on the [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) on the [Gitter Gitea
|
|
Channel](https://gitter.im/go-gitea/gitea). Below is the word to speak
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
I'm glad to be an owner of Gitea,
|
|
I agree with [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
I will spend part of my time on gitea
|
|
and lead the development of gitea.
