How to contribute¶
The following are the guidelines, everyone should use to contribute to utPLSQL.
Changes are welcome from all members of the Community.
Getting Started¶
- Create a GitHub Account.
- Fork the utPLSQL Repository and setup your local Repository.
- Each of the steps below are detailed in the How to Fork article!
- Clone your Fork to your local machine.
- Configure "upstream" remote to the master utPLSQL repository.
- Update the git submodules by issuing command: git submodule update --remote --merge
- For each change you want to make:
- Create a new branch for your change.
- Make your change in your new branch.
- Although changes can be made in the master branch, it easier long term if a new branch is used.
- Make sure your change is covered with unit tests and/or is represented in examples
- Verify code compiles and all existing and new unit tests pass.
- The quickest way to have a Pull Request not be accepted, is to submit code that does not compile or pass tests.
- Commit change to your local repository.
- Push change to your remote repository
- Submit a Pull Request.
- Note: local and remote branches can be deleted after pull request has been accepted.
Note: Getting changes from others requires Syncing your Local repository with Master utPLSQL repository. This can happen at any time.
