How to become a contributor and submit your own code

Table of contents

Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

  • If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an individual CLA.
  • If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.

Contributing A Patch

  1. Submit an issue describing your proposed change to the repo in question.
  2. The repo owner will respond to your issue promptly.
  3. If your proposed change is accepted, and you haven't already done so, sign a Contributor License Agreement (see details above).
  4. Fork the desired repo, develop and test your code changes.
  5. Ensure that your code adheres to the existing style in the code to which you are contributing.
  6. Ensure that your code has an appropriate set of tests which all pass.
  7. Title your pull request following Conventional Commits styling.
  8. Submit a pull request.

Before you begin

  1. Install Node.js LTS.

Running the tests

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install

  2. Run the tests:

    npm test

  3. Lint (and maybe fix) any changes:

    npm run fix

Testing a new feature using CLI

  1. After you've written some new code, in order to test it out, you can use the CLI.

    The below command should be run from the root of the source code:

    npm run compile && node build/src/bin/release-please.js release-pr \
--token=$GITHUB_TOKEN \
--repo-url=<owner>/<repo> [extra options]

    It is equivalent to running the CLI command:

    release-please release-pr \
--token=$GITHUB_TOKEN \
--repo-url=<owner>/<repo> [extra options]
