Contributing to Turbogit

We would love for you to contribute to Turbogit and help make it even better than it is today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:

Code of Conduct

Help us keep Turbogit open and inclusive. Please read and follow our Code of Conduct.

Got a Question or Problem?

If you have any questions regarding how to use Turbogit or contributing to this repo please submit an issue using the Need help template.

Found a Bug?

If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by submitting an issue using the Bug report template. Even better, you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.

Missing a Feature?

You can request a new feature by submitting an issue to our GitHub Repository using the Feature request template. If you would like to implement a new feature, please submit an issue with a proposal for your work first, to be sure that we can use it. Please consider what kind of change it is:

For a Major Feature, first open an issue and outline your proposal so that it can be discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work, and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project.
Small Features can be crafted and directly submitted as a Pull Request.

Submission Guidelines

Submitting an Issue

Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds readily available.

We want to fix all the issues as soon as possible, but before fixing a bug we need to reproduce and confirm it. In order to reproduce bugs, please fill the To Reproduce section when possible. Having a reproducible scenario gives us a wealth of important information without going back & forth to you with additional questions like:

version of Turbogit used
general system information
and most importantly - a use-case that fails

A minimal reproduce scenarion allows us to quickly confirm a bug (or point out coding problem) as well as confirm that we are fixing the right problem.

We will be insisting on a minimal reproduce scenario in order to save maintainers time and ultimately be able to fix more bugs. Interestingly, from our experience users often find coding problems themselves while preparing a minimal plunk. We understand that sometimes it might be hard to extract essentials bits of code from a larger code-base but we really need to isolate the problem before we can fix it.

Unfortunately, we are not able to investigate / fix bugs without a minimal reproduction, so if we don't hear back from you we are going to close an issue that doesn't have enough info to be reproduced.

You can file new issues by filling out our new issue form using the Bug report template.

Submitting a Pull Request

Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:

Search GitHub for an open or closed PR that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
Fork the b4nst/turbogit repo.
Make your changes in a new git branch:
```
git checkout -b my-fix-branch main
```
Create your patch, including appropriate test cases.
Follow our Coding Rules.
Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our commit message conventions. Adherence to these conventions is necessary because release notes will be automatically generated from these messages (eventually).
```
tug commit
```
Push your branch to GitHub:
```
git push origin my-fix-branch
```
In GitHub, send a pull request to turbogit:main.

If we suggest changes, or the ci fail then:
- Make the required updates.
- Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
```
git rebase main -i
git push -f
```

That's it! Thank you for your contribution!

After your pull request is merged

After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes from the main (upstream) repository:

Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
```
git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
```
Check out the main branch:
```
git checkout main -f
```
Delete the local branch:
```
git branch -D my-fix-branch
```
Update your main with the latest upstream version:
```
git pull --ff upstream main
```

Coding Rules

To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:

All features or bug fixes must be tested by one or more specs (unit-tests).
All commands must be documented using cobra generated documentation.

Commit Message Guidelines

We follow Conventional Commits for out commit messages. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history.

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

The header is mandatory and the scope of the header is optional.

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.

Samples: (even more samples)

docs(changelog): update changelog to beta.5

fix: bug in commit command

Revert

If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert: , followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: This reverts commit <hash>., where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.

Type

Must be one of the following:

build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
docs: Documentation only changes
feat: A new feature
fix: A bug fix
perf: A code change that improves performance
refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
revert: Revert commit
style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

Scope

The scope should be the name of command affected, if any.

e.g.:

branch
commit
config

Subject

The subject contains a succinct description of the change:

use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
don't capitalize the first letter
no dot (.) at the end

Body

Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior. The body is optional.

The footer is the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit Closes. The footer is optional
