Contributing

If you would like to contribute code to this project you can do so through GitHub by forking the repository and sending a pull request.

Before Comcast merges your code into the project you must sign the Comcast Contributor License Agreement (CLA). If you haven't previously signed a Comcast CLA, you'll automatically be asked to when you open a pull request. Alternatively, we can e-mail you a PDF that you can sign and scan back to us. Please send us an e-mail or create a new GitHub issue to request a PDF version of the CLA.

  • If you are a new contributor see: Steps to Contribute

  • If you have a trivial fix or improvement, go ahead and create a pull request, addressing (with @...) a suitable maintainer of this repository (see MAINTAINERS.md) in the description of the pull request.

  • If you plan to do something more involved, first discuss your ideas on our slack channel, #trickster, on the Gophers slack instance. This will avoid unnecessary work and surely give you and us a good deal of inspiration.

  • Relevant coding style guidelines are the Go Code Review Comments and the Formatting and style section of Peter Bourgon's Go: Best Practices for Production Environments.

Reporting Feature Requests, Bugs, Vulnerabilities and other Issues

If you find a bug in Trickster, please file a detailed report as an Issue. We currently do not utilize an Issue template, but please be as thorough as possible in your report. There is no such thing as too much information.

Likewise, if you have a Feature Request, please file a detailed Issue, explaining the feature's functionality and use cases. Features should be useful to the broader community, so be sure to consider that before filing.

If you find a security vulnerability in Trickster, please report it at https://my.xfinity.com/vulnerabilityreport and contact the Maintainers.

Steps to Contribute

Should you wish to work on an issue, please claim it first by commenting on the GitHub issue that you want to work on it. This is to prevent duplicated efforts from contributors on the same issue.

If you have questions about one of the issues, please comment on them and one of the maintainers will clarify it. For a quicker response, contact us on the #trickster slack channel.

For complete instructions on how to compile see: Building From Source

For quickly compiling and testing your changes do:

# For building.
go build
./trickster

Pull Request Checklist

  • Branch from the master branch and, if needed, rebase to the current master branch before submitting your pull request. If it doesn't merge cleanly with master you may be asked to rebase your changes.

  • Commits should be as small as possible, while ensuring that each commit is correct independently (i.e., each commit should compile and pass tests).

  • If your patch is not getting reviewed or you need a specific person to review it, you can @-reply a reviewer asking for a review in the pull request or a comment, or you can ask for a review on slack channel #trickster.

  • If you can help us with incorporating unit tests, we'd love it if you included tests relevant to the fixed bug or new feature.
