# Contributing to semantic-release | ||
|
||
✨ Thanks for contributing to **semantic-release**! ✨ | ||
|
||
As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow: | ||
|
||
- [Code of conduct](#code-of-conduct) | ||
- [How can I contribute?](#how-can-i-contribute) | ||
- [Using the issue tracker](#using-the-issue-tracker) | ||
- [Submitting a Pull Request](#submitting-a-pull-request) | ||
- [Coding rules](#coding-rules) | ||
- [Working with the code](#working-with-the-code) | ||
|
||
We also recommend that you read [How to Contribute to Open Source](https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute). | ||
|
||
## Code of conduct | ||
|
||
Help us keep **semantic-release** open and inclusive. Please read and follow our [Code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). | ||
|
||
## How can I contribute? | ||
|
||
### Improve documentation | ||
|
||
As a **semantic-release** user, you are the perfect candidate to help us improve our documentation: typo corrections, clarifications, more examples, new [recipes](docs/recipes), etc. Take a look at the [documentation issues that need help](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Asemantic-release+archived%3Afalse+label%3A%22help+wanted%22+label%3Adocs+). | ||
|
||
Please follow the [Documentation guidelines](#documentation). | ||
|
||
### Give feedback on issues | ||
|
||
Some issues are created without information requested in the [Bug report guideline](#bug-report). | ||
Help make them easier to resolve by adding any relevant information. | ||
|
||
Issues with the [design label](https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Asemantic-release+archived%3Afalse+label%3Adesign) are meant to discuss the implementation of new features. | ||
Participating in the discussion is a good opportunity to get involved and influence the future direction of **semantic-release**. | ||
|
||
### Fix bugs and implement features | ||
|
||
Confirmed bugs and ready-to-implement features are marked with the [help wanted label](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Asemantic-release+archived%3Afalse+label%3A%22help+wanted%22). | ||
Post a comment on an issue to indicate you would like to work on it and to request help from the [@semantic-release/maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/semantic-release/teams/contributors) and the community. | ||
|
||
## Using the issue tracker | ||
|
||
The issue tracker is the channel for [bug reports](#bug-report), [features requests](#feature-request) and [submitting pull requests](#submitting-a-pull-request) only. | ||
Please use the [Support](docs/support/README.md) and [Get help](README.md#get-help) sections for support, troubleshooting and questions. | ||
|
||
Before opening an issue or a Pull Request, please use the [GitHub issue search](https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=user%3Asemantic-release) to make sure the bug or feature request hasn't been already reported or fixed. | ||
|
||
### Bug report | ||
|
||
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you for more information. | ||
Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report and fill the information requested in the [bug report template](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/issues/new?template=01_bug_report.md). | ||
|
||
### Feature request | ||
|
||
Feature requests are welcome, but take a moment to find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. | ||
It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. | ||
Please provide as much detail and context as possible and fill the information requested in the [feature request template](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/issues/new?template=02_feature_request.md). | ||
|
||
### New plugin request | ||
|
||
[Plugins](docs/usage/plugins.md) are a great way to extend **semantic-release** capabilities, integrate with other systems and support new project type. | ||
Please provide as much detail and context as possible and fill the information requested in the [plugin suggestion template](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/issues/new?template=03_plugin_suggestion.md). | ||
|
||
## Submitting a Pull Request | ||
|
||
Good pull requests, whether patches, improvements, or new features, are a fantastic help. | ||
They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits. | ||
|
||
**Please ask first** before embarking on any significant pull requests (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's maintainers might not want to merge into the project. | ||
|
||
If you have never created a pull request before, welcome 🎉 😄. | ||
[Here is a great tutorial](https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#opening-a-pull-request) on how to send one :) | ||
|
||
Here is a summary of the steps to follow: | ||
|
||
1. [Set up the workspace](#set-up-the-workspace) | ||
2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream and update dependencies: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ git checkout master | ||
$ git pull upstream master | ||
$ rm -rf node_modules | ||
$ npm install | ||
``` | ||
|
||
3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ git checkout -b <topic-branch-name> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
4. Make your code changes, following the [Coding rules](#coding-rules) | ||
5. Push your topic branch up to your fork: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ git push origin <topic-branch-name> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
6. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/#creating-the-pull-request) with a clear title and description. | ||
|
||
**Tips**: | ||
|
||
- For ambitious tasks, open a Pull Request as soon as possible with the `[WIP]` prefix in the title, in order to get feedback and help from the community. | ||
- [Allow semantic-release maintainers to make changes to your Pull Request branch](https://help.github.com/articles/allowing-changes-to-a-pull-request-branch-created-from-a-fork). | ||
This way, we can rebase it and make some minor changes if necessary. | ||
All changes we make will be done in new commit, and we'll ask for your approval before merging them. | ||
|
||
## Coding rules | ||
|
||
### Source code | ||
|
||
To ensure consistency and quality throughout the source code, all code modifications must have: | ||
|
||
- No [linting](#lint) errors | ||
- A [test](#tests) for every possible case introduced by your code change | ||
- **100%** test coverage | ||
- [Valid commit message(s)](#commit-message-guidelines) | ||
- Documentation for new features | ||
- Updated documentation for modified features | ||
|
||
### Documentation | ||
|
||
To ensure consistency and quality, all documentation modifications must: | ||
|
||
- Refer to brand in [bold](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#styling-text) with proper capitalization, i.e. **GitHub**, **semantic-release**, **npm** | ||
- Prefer [tables](https://help.github.com/articles/organizing-information-with-tables) over [lists](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#lists) when listing key values, i.e. List of options with their description | ||
- Use [links](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#links) when you are referring to: | ||
- a **semantic-release** concept described somewhere else in the documentation, i.e. How to [contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md) | ||
- a third-party product/brand/service, i.e. Integrate with [GitHub](https://github.com) | ||
- an external concept or feature, i.e. Create a [GitHub release](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases) | ||
- a package or module, i.e. The [`@semantic-release/github`](https://github.com/semantic-release/github) module | ||
- Use the [single backtick `code` quoting](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#quoting-code) for: | ||
- commands inside sentences, i.e. the `semantic-release` command | ||
- programming language keywords, i.e. `function`, `async`, `String` | ||
- packages or modules, i.e. The [`@semantic-release/github`](https://github.com/semantic-release/github) module | ||
- Use the [triple backtick `code` formatting](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks) for: | ||
- code examples | ||
- configuration examples | ||
- sequence of command lines | ||
|
||
### Code signing | ||
|
||
Since this project is related to WordPress, which is used by millions of sites, the risks of a [supply chain attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_attack) are high. To mitigate this, we require all contributors to use [GPG](https://gnupg.org/) to sign all commits. If you would like to contribute to this project, you will need to [generate a GPG key](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/managing-commit-signature-verification/generating-a-new-gpg-key) and [add it to your GitHub account](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/managing-commit-signature-verification/adding-a-new-gpg-key-to-your-github-account). You will also need to [set your commit email address](https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address) to the email address associated with your GPG key. | ||
|
||
### Commit message guidelines | ||
|
||
#### Atomic commits | ||
|
||
If possible, make [atomic commits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_commit), which means: | ||
|
||
- a commit should contain exactly one self-contained functional change | ||
- a functional change should be contained in exactly one commit | ||
- a commit should not create an inconsistent state (such as test errors, linting errors, partial fix, feature with documentation etc...) | ||
|
||
A complex feature can be broken down into multiple commits as long as each one maintains a consistent state and consists of a self-contained change. | ||
|
||
#### Commit message format | ||
|
||
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. | ||
The header has a special format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**: | ||
|
||
```commit | ||
<type>(<scope>): <subject> | ||
<BLANK LINE> | ||
<body> | ||
<BLANK LINE> | ||
<footer> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional. | ||
|
||
The **footer** can contain a [closing reference to an issue](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages). | ||
|
||
#### Revert | ||
|
||
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert: `, followed by the header of the reverted commit. | ||
In the body it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`, where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted. | ||
|
||
#### Type | ||
|
||
The type must be one of the following: | ||
|
||
| Type | Description | | ||
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ||
| **build** | Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm) | | ||
| **ci** | Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs) | | ||
| **docs** | Documentation only changes | | ||
| **feat** | A new feature | | ||
| **fix** | A bug fix | | ||
| **perf** | A code change that improves performance | | ||
| **refactor** | A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature | | ||
| **style** | Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc) | | ||
| **test** | Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests | | ||
|
||
#### Subject | ||
|
||
The subject contains succinct description of the change: | ||
|
||
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes" | ||
- don't capitalize first letter | ||
- no dot (.) at the end | ||
|
||
#### Body | ||
|
||
Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". | ||
The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior. | ||
|
||
#### Footer | ||
|
||
The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**. | ||
|
||
**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. | ||
The rest of the commit message is then used for this. | ||
|
||
#### Examples | ||
|
||
```commit | ||
fix(pencil): stop graphite breaking when too much pressure applied | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```commit | ||
feat(pencil): add 'graphiteWidth' option | ||
Fix #42 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```commit | ||
perf(pencil): remove graphiteWidth option | ||
BREAKING CHANGE: The graphiteWidth option has been removed. | ||
The default graphite width of 10mm is always used for performance reasons. | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Working with the code | ||
|
||
### Set up the workspace | ||
|
||
[Fork](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/#fork) the project, [clone](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/#clone) your fork, configure the remotes and install the dependencies: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory | ||
$ git clone https://github.com/semantic-release/<repo-name> | ||
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory | ||
$ cd <repo-name> | ||
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream" | ||
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/semantic-release/<repo-name> | ||
# Install the dependencies | ||
$ npm install | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Lint | ||
|
||
All the [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release) repositories use [XO](https://github.com/sindresorhus/xo) for linting and [Prettier](https://prettier.io) for formatting. | ||
Prettier formatting will be automatically verified and fixed by XO. | ||
|
||
Before pushing your code changes make sure there are no linting errors with `npm run lint`. | ||
|
||
**Tips**: | ||
|
||
- Most linting errors can be automatically fixed with `npm run lint -- --fix`. | ||
- Install the [XO plugin](https://github.com/sindresorhus/xo#editor-plugins) for your editor to see linting errors directly in your editor and automatically fix them on save. | ||
|
||
### Tests | ||
|
||
Running the integration test requires you to install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation) on your machine. | ||
|
||
All the [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release) repositories use [AVA](https://github.com/avajs/ava) for writing and running tests. | ||
|
||
Before pushing your code changes make sure all **tests pass** and the **coverage is 100%**: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ npm run test | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**Tips:** During development you can: | ||
|
||
- run only a subset of test files with `ava <glob>`, for example `ava test/mytestfile.test.js` | ||
- run in watch mode with `ava -w` to automatically run a test file when you modify it | ||
- run only the test you are working on by adding [`.only` to the test definition](https://github.com/avajs/ava#running-specific-tests) | ||
|
||
### Commits | ||
|
||
All the [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release) repositories use [Commitizen](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli) to help you create [valid commit messages](#commit-message-guidelines). | ||
|
||
After staging your changes with `git add`, run `npm run cm` to start the interactive commit message CLI. |
