Understanding the Team Commit Process

The AngularJS Material team has a very specific process for change commits.

Our commit process is intentionally restrictive to

  1. Support the evolution of AngularJS Material while avoiding unexpected breaking changes
  2. Manage change complexity and coding standards within the library

AngularJS Material uses a "Pull Request" process to allow team leads opportunities to maintain code reviews, ensure sanity checks, encourage coding standards, and provide feedback to help contributors learn and improve.

General Rules

  • Please do not commit directly to master; unless explicitly authorized by a Team Lead
  • Contributors should fork the repository and work on fixes or enhancements on their own fork.
    • Use the Pull Request feature to submit your changes to the 'origin' AngularJS Material repository
  • When a developer has changes ready for merging into master, those fixes or updates must be submitted via a Pull Request
  • All PRs should be rebased (with master) and commits squashed prior to the final merge process
  • Please include unit tests with all your source (component or core) changes
  • All unit tests must be 100% passing before the PR will be approved/merged.

Commit Authorization Rules

The development team has defined three (3) Github levels of commit authorization within AngularJS Material:

  • Contributors:
    • Developers in this group includes any team members not listed under Team Leads or Caretakers below
    • For any and all changes, developers must use a feature branch from a fork of the AngularJS Material repository
      • Please do not make or submit any changes from the master branch of your fork
    • Are not authorized to merge PRs
    • Should not reassign issues or change milestones
    • Should ensure their issue labels are correct
    • Should test their issues with the latest HEAD versions of AngularJS Material
    • Should test their issues with the latest releases of AngularJS (1.7.x, 1.8.x)
    • Should communicate with the Team Lead when their PRs are submitted or code review updates are complete
