# Contributing
|
|
|
|
We'd love your help making zap the very best structured logging library in Go!
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to add new exported APIs, please [open an issue][open-issue]
|
|
describing your proposal — discussing API changes ahead of time makes
|
|
pull request review much smoother. In your issue, pull request, and any other
|
|
communications, please remember to treat your fellow contributors with
|
|
respect! We take our [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) seriously.
|
|
|
|
Note that you'll need to sign [Uber's Contributor License Agreement][cla]
|
|
before we can accept any of your contributions. If necessary, a bot will remind
|
|
you to accept the CLA when you open your pull request.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
[Fork][fork], then clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/go.uber.org
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/go.uber.org
|
|
git clone git@github.com:your_github_username/zap.git
|
|
cd zap
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/uber-go/zap.git
|
|
git fetch upstream
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure that the tests and the linters pass:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make test
|
|
make lint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're not using the minor version of Go specified in the Makefile's
|
|
`LINTABLE_MINOR_VERSIONS` variable, `make lint` doesn't do anything. This is
|
|
fine, but it means that you'll only discover lint failures after you open your
|
|
pull request.
|
|
|
|
## Making Changes
|
|
|
|
Start by creating a new branch for your changes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd $GOPATH/src/go.uber.org/zap
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git fetch upstream
|
|
git rebase upstream/master
|
|
git checkout -b cool_new_feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make your changes, then ensure that `make lint` and `make test` still pass. If
|
|
you're satisfied with your changes, push them to your fork.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git push origin cool_new_feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use the GitHub UI to open a pull request.
|
|
|
|
At this point, you're waiting on us to review your changes. We *try* to respond
|
|
to issues and pull requests within a few business days, and we may suggest some
|
|
improvements or alternatives. Once your changes are approved, one of the
|
|
project maintainers will merge them.
|
|
|
|
We're much more likely to approve your changes if you:
|
|
|
|
* Add tests for new functionality.
|
|
* Write a [good commit message][commit-message].
|
|
* Maintain backward compatibility.
