Contributing Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in contributing to our project! Whether it's a bug report, new feature, question, or additional documentation, we greatly value feedback and contributions from our community. Read through this document before submitting any issues or pull requests to ensure we have all the necessary information to effectively respond to your bug report or contribution.

In addition to this document, please review our Code of Conduct. For any code of conduct questions or comments please email oss@splunk.com.

Reporting Bugs/Feature Requests

We welcome you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features. When filing an issue, please check existing open, or recently closed, issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already reported the issue. Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like these are incredibly useful:

  • A reproducible test case or series of steps
  • The version of our code being used
  • Any modifications you've made relevant to the bug
  • Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
  • Any known workarounds

When filing an issue, please do NOT include:

  • Internal identifiers such as JIRA tickets
  • Any sensitive information related to your environment, users, etc.

Contributing via Pull Requests

Contributions via Pull Requests (PRs) are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that:

  1. You are working against the latest source on the main branch.
  2. You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
  3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your time to be wasted.
  4. You submit PRs that are easy to review and ideally less 500 lines of code. Multiple PRs can be submitted for larger contributions.

To send us a pull request, please:

  1. Fork the repository.
  2. Modify the source; please ensure a single change per PR. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
  3. Ensure local tests pass and add new tests related to the contribution.
  4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
  5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
  6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.

GitHub provides additional documentation on forking a repository and creating a pull request.

Finding contributions to work on

Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.

Licensing

See the LICENSE file for our project's licensing. We will ask you to confirm the licensing of your contribution.
