# Contributing to Protocol Buffers |
|
|
|
We welcome your contributions to protocol buffers. This doc describes the |
|
process to contribute patches to protobuf and the general guidelines we |
|
expect contributors to follow. |
|
|
|
## Before You Start |
|
|
|
We accept patches in the form of github pull requests. If you are new to |
|
github, please read [How to create github pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) |
|
first. |
|
|
|
### Contributor License Agreements |
|
|
|
Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License |
|
Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution, |
|
this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions |
|
as part of the project. |
|
|
|
* 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](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual?csw=1). |
|
* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, |
|
then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate?csw=1). |
|
|
|
### Coding Style |
|
|
|
This project follows [Google’s Coding Style Guides](https://github.com/google/styleguide). |
|
Before sending out your pull request, please familiarize yourself with the |
|
corresponding style guides and make sure the proposed code change is style |
|
conforming. |
|
|
|
## Contributing Process |
|
|
|
Most pull requests should go to the master branch and the change will be |
|
included in the next major/minor version release (e.g., 3.6.0 release). If you |
|
need to include a bug fix in a patch release (e.g., 3.5.2), make sure it’s |
|
already merged to master, and then create a pull request cherry-picking the |
|
commits from master branch to the release branch (e.g., branch 3.5.x). |
|
|
|
For each pull request, a protobuf team member will be assigned to review the |
|
pull request. For minor cleanups, the pull request may be merged right away |
|
after an initial review. For larger changes, you will likely receive multiple |
|
rounds of comments and it may take some time to complete. We will try to keep |
|
our response time within 7-days but if you don’t get any response in a few |
|
days, feel free to comment on the threads to get our attention. We also expect |
|
you to respond to our comments within a reasonable amount of time. If we don’t |
|
hear from you for 2 weeks or longer, we may close the pull request. You can |
|
still send the pull request again once you have time to work on it. |
|
|
|
Once a pull request is merged, we will take care of the rest and get it into |
|
the final release. |
|
|
|
## Pull Request Guidelines |
|
|
|
* If you are a Googler, it is preferable to first create an internal CL and |
|
have it reviewed and submitted. The code propagation process will deliver the |
|
change to GitHub. |
|
* Create small PRs that are narrowly focused on addressing a single concern. |
|
We often receive PRs that are trying to fix several things at a time, but if |
|
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. |
|
* For speculative changes, consider opening an issue and discussing it first. |
|
If you are suggesting a behavioral or API change, make sure you get explicit |
|
support from a protobuf team member before sending us the pull request. |
|
* 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. |
|
Ultimately, the green signal will be provided by our testing infrastructure. |
|
The reviewer will help you if there are test failures that seem not related |
|
to the change you are making.
