Contributing to Jouba

You're encouraged to submit pull requests, propose features, and discuss issues.

We'll use issues to manage anything that is code related: bugs or features so please, before doing anything, create a new issue and make sure this is not a duplaction. If this is not code related(readme or other stuffs), a pull request is enough.

If this is a bug, explain the issue(short description is better), add the bug label then open a pull request that reproduce that bug.

If this is a feature, please explain what you are trying to do, add the feature label then open a pull request with a spec that would show what you want to do

At this point, your spec should be failing.

Here is how to open a pull request:

Fork the Project

Fork the project on Github and check out your copy.

git clone https://github.com/CONTRIBUTOR/jouba.git
cd jouba
git remote add upstream https://github.com/gregory/jouba.git

Create a Feature Branch

Make sure your fork is up-to-date and create a topic branch for your feature or bug fix. Make sure your branch is prefixed by the related issue number

git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git checkout -b issue_2_improve_something

Bundle Install and Test

Ensure that you can build the project and run tests.

bundle install
bundle exec rake

Write Tests

Try to write a test that reproduces the problem you're trying to fix or describes a feature that you want to build.

If this is an issue, try to reproduce the problem you are trying to fix or describes in specs/issues/.

Please prefix it with the issue number and a short description.

Ex: let's say there is an issue opened in Aggregate#emit (let's say issue num 4):

# in specs/issues/aggregate.rb
require 'spec_helper'
require 'jouba/aggregate'

describe Jouba::Aggregate do
  describe '#emit()' do
    context 'special context' do
      describe "#4: [the issue]" do
      end
    end
  end
end

If this is a feature you want to build, try to highlight it in specs/features. Ex: let's say you want to add new behaviour on Aggregate#emit (discussed on issue 5)

# in specs/issues/aggregate.rb
require 'spec_helper'
require 'jouba/aggregate'

describe Jouba::Aggregate do
  describe '#emit()' do
    describe "#5: [what is the new behaviour]" do
    end
  end
end

We definitely appreciate pull requests that highlight or reproduce a problem, even without a fix.

Write Code

Implement your feature or bug fix.

Ruby style is enforced with Rubocop, run bundle exec rubocop and fix any style issues highlighted.

Make sure that bundle exec rake completes without errors.

Write Documentation

Document any external behavior in the README.

Update Changelog

Add a line to CHANGELOG under Next Release. Make it look like every other line, including your name and link to your Github account.

Commit Changes

Make sure git knows your name and email address:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "contributor@example.com"

Writing good commit logs is important. A commit log should describe what changed and why. Please make sure to prepend your commit message with Issue **issue number** ex of commit message: '#5 - Description of the feature or issue'

git add ...
git commit

Push

git push origin my-feature-branch

Make a Pull Request

Go to https://github.com/contributor/jouba and select your feature branch. Click the 'Pull Request' button and fill out the form. Pull requests are usually reviewed within a few days.

Rebase

If you've been working on a change for a while, rebase with upstream/master.

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git push origin my-feature-branch -f

Update CHANGELOG Again

Update the CHANGELOG with the pull request number. A typical entry looks as follows.

* [#123](https://github.com/CONTRIBUTOR/pull/123): [Added products resource](https://github.com/issues/100) - [@contributor](https://github.com/contributor).

Amend your previous commit and force push the changes.

git commit --amend
git push origin my-feature-branch -f

Check on Your Pull Request

Go back to your pull request after a few minutes and see whether it passed muster with Travis-CI. Everything should look green, otherwise fix issues and amend your commit as described above.
