Filing an issue

Before filing an issue

If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the Slack first. If the behavior you are seeing is confirmed as a bug or issue, it can easily be re-raised in the issue tracker.

Steps to Contribute

OpenEBS is an Apache 2.0 Licensed project and all your commits should be signed with Developer Certificate of Origin. See Sign your work.

  • Find an issue to work on or create a new issue. The issues are maintained at openebs/openebs.
  • Claim your issue by commenting your intent to work on it to avoid duplication of efforts.
  • Fork the repository on GitHub.
  • Create a branch from where you want to base your work (usually main).
    • If you are updating helm charts, create a branch from main.
    • If you are updating an artifact, create a branch from gh-pages.
  • Commit your changes by making sure the commit messages convey the need and notes about the commit.
  • Push your changes to the branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the original repository. See Pull Request checklist

Pull Request Checklist

  • Rebase to the current HEAD branch before submitting your pull request.

  • Commits should be as small as possible. Each commit should follow the checklist below:

    • For code changes, add tests relevant to the fixed bug or new feature.
    • Commit header (first line) should convey what changed
    • Commit body should include details such as why the changes are required and how the proposed changes help
    • DCO Signed, please refer signing commit

  • PR title must follow convention: <type>(<scope>): <subject>.

    For example:

     feat(charts): add support for OpenEBS 1.11
 ^--^ ^-----^   ^-----------------------^
   |     |         |
   |     |         +-> PR subject, summary of the changes
   |     |
   |     +-> scope of the PR, i.e. component of the project this PR is intend to update
   |
   +-> type of the PR.

    Most common types are:

    • feat - for new features, not a new feature for the build script
    • fix - for bug fixes or improvements, not a fix for the build script
    • chore - changes not related to production code
    • docs - changes related to documentation
    • style - formatting, missing semicolons, linting fix, etc; no significant production code changes
    • test - adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change
    • refactor - refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable or function name, there should not be any significant production code changes
    • cherry-pick - if PR is merged in the HEAD branch and raised to release branch(like v1.9.x)

We use the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) as an additional safeguard for the OpenEBS project. This is a well established and widely used mechanism to assure contributors have confirmed their right to license their contribution under the project's license. Please read developer-certificate-of-origin.

Please certify it by just adding a line to every git commit message. Any PR with Commits which does not have DCO Signoff will not be accepted:

  Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>

or use the command git commit -s -m "commit message comes here" to sign-off on your commits.

Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions). If you set your user.name and user.email git configs, you can sign your commit automatically with git commit -s. You can also use git aliases like git config --global alias.ci 'commit -s'. Now you can commit with git ci and the commit will be signed.

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.

  • If your PR is not getting reviewed or you need a specific person to review it, please reach out to the OpenEBS Contributors. See OpenEBS Community

  • If PR is fixing any issues from github-issues then you need to mention the issue number with a link in PR description. like: fixes openebs/openebs#56
