Making Trivial Changes

Documentation

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new github issue or sign a contributor agreement.

Making Changes

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the master branch.
    • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on master; git checkout -b fix/master/my_contribution master. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
  • Create your patch, including appropriate test cases.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Run make jenkins to make sure the code passes all validation, flake8, eslint and unit tests
  • Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository in the ccnmtl organization.
  • The core team reviews Pull Requests on a regular basis, and will provide feedback
