Contributing to AIStore

The AIStore project repository follows an open source model where anyone is allowed and encouraged to contribute. However, contributing to AIStore has a few guidelines that must be followed.

Contribution Workflow

The AIStore project repository maintains a contribution structure in which everyone proposes changes to the codebase via pull requests. To contribute to AIStore:

  1. Fork the repository,
  2. Create branch for issue,
  3. Test changes,
  4. Format changes,
  5. Commit changes (w/ sign-off),
  6. Squash commits,
  7. Create a pull request.

Formatting Operator Changes

AIStore operator maintains a few formatting rules to ensure a consistent coding style. These rules are checked and enforced by gofmt, etc. Before committing any changes, make sure to check (or fix) all changes against the formatting rules as follows:

$ cd operator

# Run linter on entire codebase
$ make lint

# Check code formatting
$ make fmt-check

# Fix code formatting
$ make fmt-fix

# Check for any misspelled words
$ make spell-check

Testing Operator Changes

Before committing any changes, run the following tests to verify any added changes to the codebase. Refer to operator Development and Test sections for more details.

Signing-Off Commits

All contributors must sign-off on each commit. This certifies that each contribution is that contributor's original work per the following Developer Certificate of Origin1.

Commits can be signed off by using the git command's --signoff (or -s) option:

$ git commit -s -m "Add new feature"

This will append the following type of footer to the commit message:

Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>

Note: Commits that are not signed-off cannot be accepted or merged.

Squashing Commits

If a pull request contains more than one commit, squash all commits into one.

The basic squashing workflow is as follows:

git checkout <your-pr-branch>
git rebase -i HEAD~<# of commits to squash>

Raise an Issue

If a bug requires more attention, raise an issue here. We will try to respond to the issue as soon as possible.

Please give the issue an appropriate title and include detailed information on the issue at hand.
