Contributing

Guidelines

Here are a few guidelines for contributing:

  • If you would like to contribute to the codebase then please raise an issue to propose the change or feature

  • Do not work on an issue / PR until it gets a design/approved label from a maintainer

  • Do not mix feature changes or fixes with refactoring - it makes the code harder to review and means there is more for the maintainers (with limited time) to test

  • If you have found a bug please raise an issue and fill out the whole template.

  • Don't raise PRs for typos, these aren't necessary - just raise an Issue

  • If the documentation can be improved / translated etc please raise an issue to discuss.

  • Please always provide a summary of what you changed, how you did it and how it can be tested.

Compliance

All commits need to be signed-off in accordance with the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) as per below.

The Derek bot will enforce this policy, if you need help please get in touch.

License

Reporting a suspected vulnerability / security issue

If you would like to report a suspected vulnerability / security issue, please email alex@openfaas.com. Bear in mind that this is a community project, and it may take a few days to get back to you. If you have a working code sample in a private GitHub repo, please feel free to give access to that also.

Sign your work

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for a patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):

    of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
