jdf-stack Contributing Guide

Basic Steps

To contribute to the jdf-stack, fork the jdf-stack repository to your own Git, clone your fork, commit your work on topic branches, and make pull requests.

If you don't have the Git client (git), get it from: http://git-scm.com/

Here are the steps in detail:

  1. Fork the project. This creates a the project in your own Git.

  2. Clone your fork. This creates a directory in your local file system.

     git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/jdf-stack.git

  3. Add the remote upstream repository.

     git remote add upstream git@github.com:jboss-jdf/jdf-stack.git

  4. Get the latest files from the upstream repository.

     git fetch upstream

  5. Create a new topic branch to contain your features, changes, or fixes.

     git checkout -b <topic-branch-name> upstream/master

  6. Contribute new code or make changes to existing files. Make sure that you follow the General Guidelines below.

  7. Run the tests to check that everything is ok.

     mvn test
 mvn test -DskipArchetypeBuildTests #If you wish to skip the archetypes test

  8. Commit your changes to your local topic branch. You must use git add filename for every file you create or change.

     git add <changed-filename>
 git commit -m `Description of change...`

  9. Push your local topic branch to your github forked repository. This will create a branch on your Git fork repository with the same name as your local topic branch name.

     git push origin HEAD

  10. Browse to the branch on your forked Git repository and open a Pull Request. Give it a clear title and description.

  • The artifact (Archetype, BOM or Runtime) must be released before sending the pull request

File format evolution

This file has a strict file format defined by the Stacks format diagram

Each branch represents a file format. If you need to alter the file format, we strongly encourage you to discuss your planned change on the dev list before starting.

If you need to update the stacks.yaml format, create a new branch to to avoid breaking compatibility with previous format versions.
