# CONTRIBUTING GUIDELINES
|
|
|
|
Oh-My-Zsh is a community-driven project. Contribution is welcome, encouraged, and appreciated.
|
|
It is also essential for the development of the project.
|
|
|
|
First, please take a moment to review our [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
|
|
|
|
These guidelines are an attempt at better addressing the huge amount of pending
|
|
issues and pull requests. Please read them closely.
|
|
|
|
Foremost, be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke). This ensures any contribution
|
|
you would make is not already covered.

## Reporting Issues
|
|
|
|
### You have a problem
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any open issue already covering
|
|
your problem.
|
|
|
|
If you find one, comment on it so we can know there are more people experiencing it.
|
|
|
|
If not, look at the [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Troubleshooting)
|
|
page for instructions on how to gather data to better debug your problem.
|
|
|
|
Then, you can go ahead and create an issue with as much detail as you can provide.
|
|
It should include the data gathered as indicated above, along with:
|
|
|
|
1. How to reproduce the problem
|
|
2. What the correct behavior should be
|
|
3. What the actual behavior is
|
|
|
|
Please copy to anyone relevant (_eg_ plugin maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle
|
|
(starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
We will do our very best to help you.
|
|
|
|
### You have a suggestion
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any open issue already covering
|
|
your suggestion.
|
|
|
|
If you find one, comment on it so we can know there are more people supporting it.
|
|
|
|
If not, you can go ahead and create an issue. Please copy to anyone relevant (_eg_ plugin
|
|
maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
## Submitting Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
You should be familiar with the basics of
|
|
[contributing on GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) and have a fork
|
|
[properly set up](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Contribution-Technical-Practices).
|
|
|
|
You MUST always create PRs with _a dedicated branch_ based on the latest upstream tree.
|
|
|
|
If you create your own PR, please make sure you do it right. Also be so kind as to reference
|
|
any issue that would be solved in the PR description body,
|
|
[for instance](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/)
|
|
_"Fixes #XXXX"_ for issue number XXXX.
|
|
|
|
### You have a solution
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any open issue already covering
|
|
your [problem](#you-have-a-problem), and any pending/merged/rejected PR covering your solution.
|
|
|
|
If the solution is already reported, try it out and +1 the pull request if the
|
|
solution works ok. On the other hand, if you think your solution is better, post
|
|
it with a reference to the other one so we can have both solutions to compare.
|
|
|
|
If not, then go ahead and submit a PR. Please copy to anyone relevant (e.g. plugin
|
|
maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
### You have an addition
|
|
|
|
Please [do not](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes#dont-send-us-your-theme-for-now)
|
|
send themes for now.
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any pending, merged or rejected Pull Requests
|
|
covering or related to what you want to add.
|
|
|
|
If you find one, try it out and work with the author on a common solution.
|
|
|
|
If not, then go ahead and submit a PR. Please copy to anyone relevant (_eg_ plugin
|
|
maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
For any extensive change, _eg_ a new plugin, you will have to find testers to +1 your PR.
|

## Use the Search, Luke
|
|
|
|
_May the Force (of past experiences) be with you_
|
|
|
|
GitHub offers [many search features](https://help.github.com/articles/searching-github/)
|
|
to help you check whether a similar contribution to yours already exists. Please search
|
|
before making any contribution, it avoids duplicates and eases maintenance. Trust me,
|
|
that works 90% of the time.
|
|
|
|
You can also take a look at the [FAQ](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/FAQ)
|
|
to be sure your contribution has not already come up.
|
|
|
|
If all fails, your thing has probably not been reported yet, so you can go ahead
|
|
and [create an issue](#reporting-issues) or [submit a PR](#submitting-pull-requests).

## Commit Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Oh My Zsh uses the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/)
|
|
specification. The automatic changelog tool uses these to automatically generate
|
|
a changelog based on the commit messages. Here's a guide to writing a commit message
|
|
to allow this:
|
|
|
|
### Format
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
type(scope)!: subject
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `type`: the type of the commit is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- `feat`: new features.
|
|
- `fix`: bug fixes.
|
|
- `docs`: documentation changes.
|
|
- `refactor`: refactor of a particular code section without introducing
|
|
new features or bug fixes.
|
|
- `style`: code style improvements.
|
|
- `perf`: performance improvements.
|
|
- `test`: changes to the test suite.
|
|
- `ci`: changes to the CI system.
|
|
- `build`: changes to the build system (we don't yet have one so this shouldn't apply).
|
|
- `chore`: for other changes that don't match previous types. This doesn't appear
|
|
in the changelog.
|
|
|
|
- `scope`: section of the codebase that the commit makes changes to. If it makes changes to
|
|
many sections, or if no section in particular is modified, leave blank without the parentheses.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- Commit that changes the `git` plugin:
|
|
```
|
|
feat(git): add alias for `git commit`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Commit that changes many plugins:
|
|
```
|
|
style: fix inline declaration of arrays
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For changes to plugins or themes, the scope should be the plugin or theme name:
|
|
|
|
- ✅ `fix(agnoster): commit subject`
|
|
- ❌ `fix(theme/agnoster): commit subject`
|
|
|
|
- `!`: this goes after the `scope` (or the `type` if scope is empty), to indicate that the commit
|
|
introduces breaking changes.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can specify a message that the changelog tool will display to the user to indicate
|
|
what's changed and what they can do to deal with it. You can use multiple lines to type this message;
|
|
the changelog parser will keep reading until the end of the commit message or until it finds an empty
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
Example (made up):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
style(agnoster)!: change dirty git repo glyph
|
|
|
|
BREAKING CHANGE: the glyph to indicate when a git repository is dirty has
|
|
changed from a Powerline character to a standard UTF-8 emoji. You can
|
|
change it back by setting `ZSH_THEME_DIRTY_GLYPH`.
|
|
|
|
Fixes #420
|
|
|
|
Co-authored-by: Username <email>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `subject`: a brief description of the changes. This will be displayed in the changelog. If you need
|
|
to specify other details you can use the commit body but it won't be visible.
|
|
|
|
Formatting tricks: the commit subject may contain:
|
|
|
|
- Links to related issues or PRs by writing `#issue`. This will be highlighted by the changelog tool:
|
|
```
|
|
feat(archlinux): add support for aura AUR helper (#9467)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Formatted inline code by using backticks: the text between backticks will also be highlighted by
|
|
the changelog tool:
|
|
```
|
|
feat(shell-proxy): enable unexported `DEFAULT_PROXY` setting (#9774)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Style
|
|
|
|
Try to keep the first commit line short. This is harder to do using this commit style but try to be
|
|
concise and if you need more space, you can use the commit body. Try to make sure that the commit
|
|
subject is clear and precise enough that users will know what change by just looking at the changelog.
