There are 3 core ways to get involved with the Data Catalogue project:
- Documentation - Fixing errors, covering weaker areas, adding examples
- Github Issues - This should be the first area to focus on for those that want to amend the code. To see how the project is developed, see the Git Workflow page.
- Testing
For information about the development method we follow, please check Development Methodology.
Issues are handled within the Github Issue tracker and should follow the template:
## Issue Name
### Summary
### Steps to Reproduce
### Current Behaviour
### Expected Behaviour
### Extra Details
Here you should include details about the system (if it is unique) and possible information about a fix (feel free to link to code where relevant). Screenshots/GIFs are also fine here.
There should be no pushing directly to the master
or develop
branches. To implement a fix, one should open a branch with the naming: hotfix/ISSUE-NAME
from the develop
branch and complete all work there. When it is complete, a Merge Request should be opened that follows this template:
## Description
## Motivation
Link to any open issues here
## Fixes:
*
*
## Changes:
*
*
## Tests included/Docs Updated?
- [ ] Included for each change/fix?
- [ ] Passing? (Merge will not be approved unless this is checked)
- [ ] Docs updated?
## Extra Information/Screenshots
When the request is created, it should be assigned to any other appropriate team member with develop
as the target branch. Tests must be written for all features/changes made and any major changes should be updated in the docs
repo.
