We welcome contributions to the Hyperledger Fabric Project. There's always plenty to do!
If you have any questions about the project or how to contribute, you can find us in the fabric-java-chaincode Hyperledger Rocket.Chat channel.
Here are a few guidelines to help you contribute successfully...
We currently track bug reports using the Hyperledger JIRA tool.
If you find a bug which we don't already know about, you can help us by creating a new issue describing the problem. Please include as much detail as possible to help us track down the cause.
Note: Please use Rocket.Chat instead of JIRA to ask questions.
If you want to begin contributing code, looking through our open issues is a good way to start. Try looking for recent issues with detailed descriptions first, or ask us on Rocket.Chat if you're unsure which issue to choose.
Make sure you have the support of the Hyperledger Fabric community before investing a lot of effort in project enhancements. For example, discuss your proposal on Rocket.Chat or open a JIRA issue for feedback before starting work.
Note: A more formal RFC process is under development for Hyperledger Fabric enhancement requests.
We use our own forks and Github Flow to deliver changes to the code. Follow these steps to deliver your first pull request:
- Fork the repository and create a new branch from
main. - If you've added code that should be tested, add tests!
- If you've added any new features or made breaking changes, update the documentation.
- Ensure all the tests pass.
- Include the JIRA issue number, a descriptive message, and the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) sign-off on all commit messages.
- Issue a pull request!
- Azure DevOps builds must succeed before the pull request can be reviewed and merged.
Please to try to be consistent with the rest of the code and conform to checkstyle rules where they are provided.
See our Code of Conduct Guidelines.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to one of the project's Maintainers.
See the Hyperledger Fabric contributors guide for more details, including other Hyperledger Fabric projects you may wish to contribute to.
