Contributing¶ ↑
I value any contribution to minitar you can provide: a bug report, a feature request, or code contributions. There are a few guidelines for contributing to minitar:
-
Code changes will not be accepted without tests. The test suite is written with [Minitest].
-
Match my coding style.
-
Use a thoughtfully-named topic branch that contains your change. Rebase your commits into logical chunks as necessary.
-
Do not change the version number; when your patch is accepted and a release is made, the version will be updated at that point.
-
Submit a GitHub pull request with your changes.
-
New or changed behaviours require appropriate documentation.
Test Dependencies¶ ↑
minitar uses Ryan Davis’s [Hoe] to manage the release process, and it adds a number of rake tasks. You will mostly be interested in:
$ rake
which runs the tests the same way that:
$ rake test $ rake travis
will do.
To assist with the installation of the development dependencies for minitar, I have provided the simplest possible Gemfile pointing to the (generated) minitar.gemspec
file. This will permit you to do:
$ bundle install
to get the development dependencies. If you aleady have hoe
installed, you can accomplish the same thing with:
$ rake newb
This task will install any missing dependencies, run the tests/specs, and generate the RDoc.
You can run tests with code coverage analysis by running:
$ rake test:coverage
Workflow¶ ↑
Here’s the most direct way to get your work merged into the project:
-
Fork the project.
-
Clone down your fork (
git clone git://github.com/<username>/minitar.git
). -
Create a topic branch to contain your change (
git checkout -b my_awesome_feature
). -
Hack away, add tests. Not necessarily in that order.
-
Make sure everything still passes by running
rake
. -
If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors.
-
Push the branch up (
git push origin my_awesome_feature
). -
Create a pull request against halostatue/minitar and describe what your change does and the why you think it should be merged.
