Thank you for your interest in contributing to Velox! Before you begin writing code, it is important that you share your intention to contribute with the team, based on the type of contribution:
- You want to propose a new feature and implement it:
- Post about your intended feature in an issue, and we shall discuss the design and implementation. Once we agree that the plan looks good, go ahead and implement it.
- You want to implement a feature or bug-fix for an outstanding issue.
- Search for your issue in the Velox issue list.
- Pick an issue and comment that you'd like to work on the feature or bug-fix.
- If you need more context on a particular issue, please ask and we shall provide.
The main communication channel with the Velox community is the Velox-OSS Slack workspace. Please don't hesitate in reaching out. While doing so, in order to ensure that all contributions are timely reviewed, we recommend authors to start a discussion with the team and make code review arrangements.
Once you implement and test your feature or bug-fix, please submit a Pull Request to https://github.com/facebookincubator/velox, tagging the reviewers you previously identified.
We also encourage authors to proactively communicate during code review; please provide an ETA on when review comments will be addressed (if applicable), and explicitly notify reviewers when the PR is ready for another round of reviews.
We actively welcome your pull requests.
- Fork the repo and create your branch from
main. - If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
- If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
- Ensure the test suite passes.
- If you haven't already, complete the Contributor License Agreement ("CLA").
Before contributing to Velox, please review our coding style and best practices
document in CODING_STYLE.md.
Our Makefile contains targets to help highlighting and fixing format, header or
license issues. These targets are shortcuts for calling ./scripts/check.py.
Use make header-fix to apply our open source license headers to new files.
Use make format-check to highlight formatting issues using clang-format.
Formatting issues found on the changed lines in the current commit can be
displayed using make format-check. These issues can be fixed by using make format-fix. This command will apply formatting changes to modified lines in
the current commit.
Header issues found on the changed files in the current commit can be displayed
using make header-check. These issues can be fixed by using make header-fix.
This will apply license header updates to files in the current commit.
An entire directory tree of files can be formatted and have license headers
added using the tree variant of the format.sh commands:
./scripts/check.py format tree
./scripts/check.py format tree --fix
./scripts/check.py header tree
./scripts/check.py header tree --fix
All the available formatting commands can be displayed by using
./scripts/check.py help.
Velox uses CircleCI as the continuous integration system, so please ensure your
PR does not break any of these workflows. CircleCi runs make format-check,
make header-check as part of our continuous integration. Pull requests should
pass format-check and header-check without errors before being accepted.
More details can be found at .circleci/REAME.md
