Contribute examples

One of the most impactful ways to contribute is by adding examples. You can find an overview of examples using Ory services on the documentation examples page. Source code for examples can be found in most cases in the ory/examples repository.

If you would like to contribute a new example, we would love to hear from you!

Please open an issue to describe your example before you start working on it. We would love to provide guidance to make for a pleasant contribution experience. Go through this checklist to contribute an example:

  1. Create a GitHub issue proposing a new example and make sure it's different from an existing one.
  2. Fork the repo and create a feature branch off of master so that changes do not get mixed up.
  3. Add a descriptive prefix to commits. This ensures a uniform commit history and helps structure the changelog. Please refer to this Convential Commits configuration for the list of accepted prefixes. You can read more about the Conventional Commit specification at their site.
  4. Create a README.md that explains how to use the example. (Use the README template).
  5. Open a pull request and maintainers will review and merge your example.

Contribute code

Unless you are fixing a known bug, we strongly recommend discussing it with the core team via a GitHub issue or in our chat before getting started to ensure your work is consistent with Ory Ory Oathkeeper Go Client's roadmap and architecture.

All contributions are made via pull requests. To make a pull request, you will need a GitHub account; if you are unclear on this process, see GitHub's documentation on forking and pull requests. Pull requests should be targeted at the master branch. Before creating a pull request, go through this checklist:

  1. Create a feature branch off of master so that changes do not get mixed up.
  2. Rebase your local changes against the master branch.
  3. Run the full project test suite with the go test -tags sqlite ./... (or equivalent) command and confirm that it passes.
  4. Run make format
  5. Add a descriptive prefix to commits. This ensures a uniform commit history and helps structure the changelog. Please refer to this Convential Commits configuration for the list of accepted prefixes. You can read more about the Conventional Commit specification at their site.

If a pull request is not ready to be reviewed yet it should be marked as a "Draft".

Before your contributions can be reviewed you need to sign our Contributor License Agreement.

This agreement defines the terms under which your code is contributed to Ory. More specifically it declares that you have the right to, and actually do, grant us the rights to use your contribution. You can see the Apache 2.0 license under which our projects are published here.

When pull requests fail the automated testing stages (for example unit or E2E tests), authors are expected to update their pull requests to address the failures until the tests pass.

Pull requests eligible for review

  1. follow the repository's code formatting conventions;
  2. include tests that prove that the change works as intended and does not add regressions;
  3. document the changes in the code and/or the project's documentation;
  4. pass the CI pipeline;
  5. have signed our Contributor License Agreement;
  6. include a proper git commit message following the Conventional Commit Specification.

If all of these items are checked, the pull request is ready to be reviewed and you should change the status to "Ready for review" and request review from a maintainer.

Reviewers will approve the pull request once they are satisfied with the patch.

Working with forks

# First you clone the original repository
git clone [email protected]:ory/ory/oathkeeper-client-go.git

# Next you add a git remote that is your fork:
git remote add fork [email protected]:<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME-HERE>/ory/oathkeeper-client-go.git

# Next you fetch the latest changes from origin for master:
git fetch origin
git checkout master
git pull --rebase

# Next you create a new feature branch off of master:
git checkout my-feature-branch

# Now you do your work and commit your changes:
git add -A
git commit -a -m "fix: this is the subject line" -m "This is the body line. Closes #123"

# And the last step is pushing this to your fork
git push -u fork my-feature-branch
