How to contribute to a Solace Project

We'd love for you to contribute and welcome your help. Here are some guidelines to follow:

Did you find a issue?

  • Ensure the bug was not already reported by searching on GitHub under Issues.

  • If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new one. Be sure to include a title and clear description, as much relevant information as possible, and a code sample or an executable test case demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.

Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?

Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch following the steps outlined below. Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number if applicable.

Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:

  • Search GitHub for an open or closed Pull Request that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.

Submitting a Pull Request

Please follow these steps for all pull requests. These steps are derived from the GitHub flow.

Step 1: Fork

Fork the project and clone your fork locally.

prompt:~$ git clone https://github.com/SolaceProducts/solace-kubernetes-quickstart

Step 2: Branch

Make your changes on a new git branch in your fork of the repository.

prompt:~$ git checkout -b my-fix-branch master

Step 3: Commit

Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message.

prompt:~$ git commit -a -m "Your Commit Message"

Note: the optional commit -a command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.

Step 4a: Rebase (if you have not yet pushed your branch to origin, else goto step 4b.)

Assuming you have not yet pushed your branch to origin, use git rebase (not git merge) to synchronize your work with the main repository.

If you have not set the upstream, do so as follows:

prompt:~$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/SolaceProducts/solace-kubernetes-quickstart

then:

prompt:~$ git fetch upstream
prompt:~$ git rebase upstream/master

Step 4b: Merge (if you have already pushed our branch to origin)

Assuming you have already pushed your branch to origin, use git merge (not git rebase) to synchronize your work with the main repository.

First ensure there are not any changes to master that you need to pick up, then merge in your changes. You may need to resolve any conflicts on either of the merge steps.

prompt:~$ git merge master
prompt:~$ git checkout master
prompt:~$ git merge my-fix-branch

Step 5: Push

Push your branch to your fork in GitHub:

prompt:~$ git push origin my-fix-branch

Step 6: Pull Request

In GitHub, send a pull request to solace-samples-semp:master.

When fixing an existing issue, use the commit message keywords to close the associated GitHub issue.

  • If we suggest changes then:
    • Make the required updates.
    • Commit these changes to your branch (ex: my-fix-branch)

That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
