# How to Contribute
|
|
|
|
CNI is [Apache 2.0 licensed](LICENSE) and accepts contributions via GitHub
|
|
pull requests. This document outlines some of the conventions on development
|
|
workflow, commit message formatting, contact points and other resources to make
|
|
it easier to get your contribution accepted.
|
|
|
|
We gratefully welcome improvements to documentation as well as to code.
|
|
|
|
# Certificate of Origin
|
|
|
|
By contributing to this project you agree to the Developer Certificate of
|
|
Origin (DCO). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
|
|
simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
|
|
contribution. See the [DCO](DCO) file for details.
|
|
|
|
# Email and Chat
|
|
|
|
The project uses the the cni-dev email list and IRC chat:
|
|
- Email: [cni-dev](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cni-dev)
|
|
- IRC: #[containernetworking](irc://irc.freenode.org:6667/#containernetworking) channel on freenode.org
|
|
|
|
Please avoid emailing maintainers found in the MAINTAINERS file directly. They
|
|
are very busy and read the mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
- Fork the repository on GitHub
|
|
- Read the [README](README.md) for build and test instructions
|
|
- Play with the project, submit bugs, submit pull requests!
|
|
|
|
## Contribution workflow
|
|
|
|
This is a rough outline of how to prepare a contribution:
|
|
|
|
- Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (usually branched from master).
|
|
- Make commits of logical units.
|
|
- Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format (see below).
|
|
- Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
|
|
- If you changed code:
|
|
- add automated tests to cover your changes, using the [Ginkgo](http://onsi.github.io/ginkgo/) & [Gomega](http://onsi.github.io/gomega/) style
|
|
- if the package did not previously have any test coverage, add it to the list
|
|
of `TESTABLE` packages in the `test.sh` script.
|
|
- run the full test script and ensure it passes
|
|
- Make sure any new code files have a license header (this is now enforced by automated tests)
|
|
- Submit a pull request to the original repository.
|
|
|
|
## How to run the test suite
|
|
We generally require test coverage of any new features or bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
Here's how you can run the test suite on any system (even Mac or Windows) using
|
|
[Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) and a hypervisor of your choice:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
vagrant ssh
|
|
# you're now in a shell in a virtual machine
|
|
sudo su
|
|
cd /go/src/github.com/containernetworking/cni
|
|
|
|
# to run the full test suite
|
|
./test.sh
|
|
|
|
# to focus on a particular test suite
|
|
cd plugins/main/loopback
|
|
go test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Acceptance policy
|
|
|
|
These things will make a PR more likely to be accepted:
|
|
|
|
* a well-described requirement
|
|
* tests for new code
|
|
* tests for old code!
|
|
* new code and tests follow the conventions in old code and tests
|
|
* a good commit message (see below)
|
|
|
|
In general, we will merge a PR once two maintainers have endorsed it.
|
|
Trivial changes (e.g., corrections to spelling) may get waved through.
|
|
For substantial changes, more people may become involved, and you might get asked to resubmit the PR or divide the changes into more than one PR.
|
|
|
|
### Format of the Commit Message
|
|
|
|
We follow a rough convention for commit messages that is designed to answer two
|
|
questions: what changed and why. The subject line should feature the what and
|
|
the body of the commit should describe the why.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
scripts: add the test-cluster command
|
|
|
|
this uses tmux to setup a test cluster that you can easily kill and
|
|
start for debugging.
|
|
|
|
Fixes #38
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The format can be described more formally as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<subsystem>: <what changed>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<why this change was made>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<footer>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first line is the subject and should be no longer than 70 characters, the
|
|
second line is always blank, and other lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
|
|
This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various
|
|
git tools.
|
|

|
## 3rd party plugins
|
|
So you've built a CNI plugin. Where should it live?
|
|
|
|
Short answer: We'd be happy to link to it from our [list of 3rd party plugins](README.md#3rd-party-plugins).
|
|
But we'd rather you kept the code in your own repo.
|
|
|
|
Long answer: An advantage of the CNI model is that independent plugins can be
|
|
built, distributed and used without any code changes to this repository. While
|
|
some widely used plugins (and a few less-popular legacy ones) live in this repo,
|
|
we're reluctant to add more.
|
|
|
|
If you have a good reason why the CNI maintainers should take custody of your
|
|
plugin, please open an issue or PR.
