## Introduction

Before starting your work, you should [fork the project](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)
to your GitHub account. This allows you to freely experiment with your changes.
When your changes are complete, submit a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
All pull requests will be reviewed and merged if they suit some general guidelines:

* Changes are located in a topic branch
* For new functionality, proper tests are written
* Changes should follow the existing coding style and standards

Please continue reading in the following sections for a step by step guide.

## Fork the Project

[Fork the project](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) to your GitHub account
and clone the repository:

```
git clone [email protected]:jdoe/icingaweb2-module-toplevelview.git
cd icingaweb2-module-toplevelview
```

Add a new remote `upstream` with this repository as value.

```
git remote add upstream https://github.com/icinga/icingaweb2-module-toplevelview.git
```

You can pull updates to your fork's default branch:

```
git fetch --all
git pull upstream HEAD
```

Please continue to learn about [branches](#branches).

## Branches

Choosing a proper name for a branch helps us identify its purpose and possibly
find an associated bug or feature.
Generally a branch name should include a topic such as `fix` or `feature` followed
by a description and an issue number if applicable. Branches should have only changes
relevant to a specific issue.

```
git checkout -b fix/service-template-typo-1234
git checkout -b feature/config-handling-1235
```

Continue to apply your changes and test them. More details on specific changes:

* [Source Code Patches](#source-code-patches)
* [Documentation Patches](#documentation-patches)

## Commits

Once you've finished your work in a branch, please ensure to commit
your changes. A good commit message includes a short topic, additional body
and a reference to the issue you wish to solve (if existing).

Fixes:

```
Fix missing style in detail view
refs #4567
```

Features:

```
Add DateTime picker
refs #1234
```

You can add multiple commits during your journey to finish your patch.
Don't worry, you can squash those changes into a single commit later on.

## Pull Requests

Once you've committed your changes, please update your local default
branch and rebase your fix/feature branch against it before submitting a PR.

```
git checkout main
git pull upstream HEAD
git checkout fix/style-detail-view-5678
git rebase main
```

Once you've resolved any conflicts, push the branch to your remote repository.
It might be necessary to force push after rebasing - use with care!

New branch:
```
git push --set-upstream origin fix/style-detail-view-5678
```

Existing branch:
```
git push -f origin fix/style-detail-view-5678
```

You can now either use the [hub](https://hub.github.com) CLI tool to create a PR, or navigate
to your GitHub repository and create a PR there.

The pull request should again contain a telling subject and a reference
with `fixes` to an existing issue id if any. That allows developers
to automatically resolve the issues once your PR gets merged.

```
hub pull-request
<a telling subject>
fixes #1234
```

Thanks a lot for your contribution!


### Rebase a Branch

If you accidentally sent in a PR which was not rebased against the upstream default branch,
developers might ask you to rebase your PR.

First off, fetch and pull the default branch.

```
git checkout main
git fetch --all
git pull upstream HEAD
```

Then change to your working branch and start rebasing it against the default:

```
git checkout fix/style-detail-view-5678
git rebase main
```

If you are running into a conflict, rebase will stop and ask you to fix the problems.

```
git status
both modified: path/to/conflict.php
```

Edit the file and search for `>>>`. Fix, build, test and save as needed.

Add the modified file(s) and continue rebasing.

```
git add path/to/conflict.php
git rebase --continue
```

Once succeeded ensure to push your changed history remotely.

```
git push -f origin fix/style-detail-view-5678
```


If you fear to break things, do the rebase in a backup branch first and later replace your current branch.

```
git checkout fix/style-detail-view-5678
git checkout -b fix/style-detail-view-5678-rebase
git rebase main
git branch -D fix/style-detail-view-5678
git checkout -b fix/style-detail-view-5678
git push -f origin fix/style-detail-view-5678
```

### Squash Commits

> **Note:**
>
> Be careful with squashing. This might lead to non-recoverable mistakes.
>
> This is for advanced Git users.
Say you want to squash the last 3 commits in your branch into a single one.

Start an interactive (`-i`) rebase from current HEAD minus three commits (`HEAD~3`).

```
git rebase -i HEAD~3
```

Git opens your preferred editor. `pick` the commit in the first line, change `pick` to `squash` on the other lines.

```
pick e4bf04e47 Fix style detail view
squash d7b939d99 Tests
squash b37fd5377 Doc updates
```

Save and let rebase to its job. Then force push the changes to the remote origin.

```
git push -f origin fix/style-detail-view-5678
```


## Testing

Test cases are defined in the `Makefile`.

## Source Code Patches

Top Level View for Icinga Web is written in PHP, LESS and JavaScript.

## Documentation Patches

The documentation is written in GitHub flavored [Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/).
It is located in the `doc/` directory and can be edited with your preferred editor. You can also
edit it online on GitHub.

```
vim doc/02-Installation.md
