Developer Experience

Continuous Delivery is core to our development philosophy. Check out https://minimumcd.org for a good baseline agreement on what that means.

Specifically:

  • We do trunk-based development (main) with short-lived feature branches that originate from the trunk, get merged into the trunk, and are deleted after the merge
  • We don't merge code into main that isn't releasable
  • We perform automated testing on all changes before they get merged to main
  • Continuous integration (CI) pipeline tests are definitive
  • We create immutable release artifacts

Definition of Done

We apply these general principles to all User Stories and activities contributing to the UDS.

  • Automated continuous integration (CI) pipeline tests pass
  • CI pipeline tests have been updated to meet system changes
  • Changes are peer reviewed
  • Acceptance criteria is met
  • Documentation is updated to reflect what changed

Getting Started

TBD

Submitting a Pull Request

  1. Create an Issue: For significant changes, please create an issue first, describing the problem or feature proposal. Trivial fixes do not require an issue.
  2. Branch vs. Fork: We prefer contributors to work on branches within the main repository when possible, as this allows full CI/CD processes to run without encountering issues with restricted secrets. If you do not have permissions, you may use a fork, but be aware of potential CI/CD limitations.
  3. Commit Your Changes: Make your changes and commit them. All commits must be signed.
  4. Run Tests: Ensure that your changes pass all tests.
  5. Push Your Branch: Push your branch to the main repository or your fork on GitHub.
  6. Create a Pull Request: Open a pull request against the main branch of the Bundle repository. Please make sure that your PR passes all CI checks.

Note for External Contributors

When submitting a pull request (PR) from a forked repository, please note that our CI/CD processes may not run completely due to security restrictions. This is because certain secrets required for the full CI/CD pipeline are not accessible from forks.

What to expect:

  1. CI/CD Failures: If you notice CI/CD failures, it might be due to these limitations rather than issues with your code.
  2. Maintainer Review: Our maintainers will review your PR and, if necessary, check out your branch and push it to the main repository. This step allows the full CI/CD process to run with the required secrets, ensuring that all checks are performed.

PR Requirements

  • PRs must be against the main branch.
  • PRs must pass CI checks.
  • All commits must be signed.
  • PRs should have a related issue, except for trivial fixes.

Contact

For any questions or concerns, please open an issue on GitHub or contact the maintainers.
