# How to contribute
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We definitely welcome your patches and contributions to gRPC! Please read the gRPC
|
||
|
|
organization's [governance rules](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-community/blob/master/governance.md)
|
||
|
|
and [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-community/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) before proceeding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are new to github, please start by reading [Pull Request howto](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Legal requirements

||
|
|
In order to protect both you and ourselves, you will need to sign the

## Guidelines for Pull Requests
|
||
|
|
How to get your contributions merged smoothly and quickly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Create **small PRs** that are narrowly focused on **addressing a single
|
||
|
|
concern**. We often times receive PRs that are trying to fix several things at
|
||
|
|
a time, but only one fix is considered acceptable, nothing gets merged and
|
||
|
|
both author's & review's time is wasted. Create more PRs to address different
|
||
|
|
concerns and everyone will be happy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The grpc package should only depend on standard Go packages and a small number
|
||
|
|
of exceptions. If your contribution introduces new dependencies which are NOT
|
||
|
|
in the [list](https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc?imports), you need a
|
||
|
|
discussion with gRPC-Go authors and consultants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For speculative changes, consider opening an issue and discussing it first. If
|
||
|
|
you are suggesting a behavioral or API change, consider starting with a [gRFC
|
||
|
|
proposal](https://github.com/grpc/proposal).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Provide a good **PR description** as a record of **what** change is being made
|
||
|
|
and **why** it was made. Link to a github issue if it exists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Don't fix code style and formatting unless you are already changing that line
|
||
|
|
to address an issue. PRs with irrelevant changes won't be merged. If you do
|
||
|
|
want to fix formatting or style, do that in a separate PR.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Unless your PR is trivial, you should expect there will be reviewer comments
|
||
|
|
that you'll need to address before merging. We expect you to be reasonably
|
||
|
|
responsive to those comments, otherwise the PR will be closed after 2-3 weeks
|
||
|
|
of inactivity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Maintain **clean commit history** and use **meaningful commit messages**. PRs
|
||
|
|
with messy commit history are difficult to review and won't be merged. Use
|
||
|
|
`rebase -i upstream/master` to curate your commit history and/or to bring in
|
||
|
|
latest changes from master (but avoid rebasing in the middle of a code
|
||
|
|
review).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Keep your PR up to date with upstream/master (if there are merge conflicts, we
|
||
|
|
can't really merge your change).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **All tests need to be passing** before your change can be merged. We
|
||
|
|
recommend you **run tests locally** before creating your PR to catch breakages
|
||
|
|
early on.
|
||
|
|
- `make all` to test everything, OR
|
||
|
|
- `make vet` to catch vet errors
|
||
|
|
- `make test` to run the tests
|
||
|
|
- `make testrace` to run tests in race mode
|
||
|
|
- optional `make testappengine` to run tests with appengine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Exceptions to the rules can be made if there's a compelling reason for doing so.
