Contribute

Loki uses GitHub to manage reviews of pull requests:

  • If you have a trivial fix or improvement, go ahead and create a pull request.
  • If you plan to do something more involved, discuss your ideas on the relevant GitHub issue.

Steps to contribute

For now, you need to add your fork as a remote on the original $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/loki clone, so:

$ go get github.com/grafana/loki
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/grafana/loki # GOPATH is $HOME/go by default.

$ git remote add <FORK_NAME> <FORK_URL>

Notice: go get return package github.com/grafana/loki: no Go files in /go/src/github.com/grafana/loki is normal.

Contribute to helm

Please follow the Loki Helm Chart.

Dependency management

We uses Go modules to manage dependencies on external packages. This requires a working Go environment with version 1.13 or greater and git installed.

To add or update a new dependency, use the go get command:

# Pick the latest tagged release.
go get example.com/some/module/pkg

# Pick a specific version.
go get example.com/some/module/[email protected]

Tidy up the go.mod and go.sum files:

go mod tidy
go mod vendor
git add go.mod go.sum vendor
git commit

You have to commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum before submitting the pull request.
