Actually it is impossible to list them completely. Just remember one principle:

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY PR FROM YOU.

Since you are ready to improve Serverless Devs FC Component with a PR, we suggest you could take a look at the PR rules here.

Workspace Preparation

To put forward a PR, we assume you have registered a GitHub ID. Then you could finish the preparation in the following steps:

  1. FORK Serverless Devs FC Component to your repository. To make this work, you just need to click the button Fork in right-left of Serverless-Devs/Serverless-Devs main page. Then you will end up with your repository in https://github.com/<your-username>/Serverless-Devs, in which your-username is your GitHub username.

  2. CLONE your own repository to develop locally. Use git clone [email protected]:<your-username>/Serverless-Devs.git to clone repository to your local machine. Then you can create new branches to finish the change you wish to make.

  3. Set Remote upstream to be [email protected]:Serverless-Devs/Serverless-Devs.git using the following two commands:

git remote add upstream [email protected]:Serverless-Devs/Serverless-Devs.git
git remote set-url --push upstream no-pushing

With this remote setting, you can check your git remote configuration like this:

$ git remote -v
origin     [email protected]:<your-username>/Serverless-Devs.git (fetch)
origin     [email protected]:<your-username>/Serverless-Devs.git (push)
upstream   [email protected]:Serverless-Devs/Serverless-Devs.git (fetch)
upstream   no-pushing (push)

Adding this, we can easily synchronize local branches with upstream branches.

Branch Definition

Right now we assume every contribution via pull request is for branch develop in Serverless Devs FC Component . Before contributing, be aware of branch definition would help a lot.

As a contributor, keep in mind again that every contribution via pull request is for branch develop. While in project Serverless Devs FC Component , there are several other branches, we generally call them release branches(such as 0.6.0,0.6.1), feature branches, hotfix branches and master branch.

When officially releasing a version, there will be a release branch and named with the version number.

After the release, we will merge the commit of the release branch into the master branch.

When we find that there is a bug in a certain version, we will decide to fix it in a later version or fix it in a specific hotfix version. When we decide to fix the hotfix version, we will checkout the hotfix branch based on the corresponding release branch, perform code repair and verification, and merge it into the develop branch and the master branch.

For larger features, we will pull out the feature branch for development and verification.

Commit Rules

Actually in Serverless Devs FC Component , we take two rules serious when committing:

Commit Message

Commit message could help reviewers better understand what is the purpose of submitted PR. It could help accelerate the code review procedure as well. We encourage contributors to use EXPLICIT commit message rather than ambiguous message. In general, we advocate the following commit message type:

  • docs: xxxx. For example, "docs: add docs about Serverless Devs FC Component cluster installation".
  • feature: xxxx.For example, "feature: support oracle in AT mode".
  • bugfix: xxxx. For example, "bugfix: fix panic when input nil parameter".
  • refactor: xxxx. For example, "refactor: simplify to make codes more readable".
  • test: xxx. For example, "test: add unit test case for func InsertIntoArray".
  • other readable and explicit expression ways.

On the other side, we discourage contributors from committing message like the following ways:

  • fix bug
  • update
  • add doc

If you get lost, please see How to Write a Git Commit Message for a start.

Commit Content

Commit content represents all content changes included in one commit. We had better include things in one single commit which could support reviewer's complete review without any other commits' help. In another word, contents in one single commit can pass the CI to avoid code mess. In brief, there are three minor rules for us to keep in mind:

  • avoid very large change in a commit;
  • complete and reviewable for each commit.
  • check git config(user.name, user.email) when committing to ensure that it is associated with your github ID.
  • when submitting pr, please add a brief description of the current changes to the X.X.X.md file under the 'changes/' folder

In addition, in the code change part, we suggest that all contributors should read the code style of Serverless Devs FC Component .

No matter commit message, or commit content, we do take more emphasis on code review.

PR Description

PR is the only way to make change to Serverless Devs FC Component project files. To help reviewers better get your purpose, PR description could not be too detailed. We encourage contributors to follow the PR template to finish the pull request.
