Hacking on Keycloak

GitHub Repository

Create a GitHub account if you don't already have one

Join GitHub

Fork Keycloak repository into your account

https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak

Clone your newly forked copy onto your local workspace

git clone https://github.com/<your username>/keycloak.git
cd keycloak

Add a remote ref to upstream for pulling future updates

git remote add upstream https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak.git

Pull later updates from upstream

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master

Discuss changes

Before starting work on a new feature or anything besides a minor bug fix join the Keycloak Dev mailing list and send a mail about your proposed changes. This is vital as otherwise you may waste days implementing a feature that is later rejected.

Once you have received feedback from the mailing list if there's not one already create a (JIRA issue)[https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK].

Implement changes

We don't currently enforce a code style in Keycloak, but a good reference is the code style used by WildFly. This can be retrieved from Wildfly ide-configs.To import formatting rules, see following instructions

If your changes requires updates to the database read Updating Database Schema.

To try your changes out manually you can quickly start Keycloak from within your IDEA or Maven, to find out how to do this read Testsuite. It's also important that you add tests to the testsuite for your changes.

Get your changes merged into upstream

Here's a quick check list for a good pull request (PR):

  • Discussed and agreed on Keycloak Dev mailing list
  • One commit per PR
  • One feature/change per PR
  • No changes to code not directly related to your change (e.g. no formatting changes or refactoring to existing code, if you want to refactor/improve existing code that's a separate discussion to mailing list and JIRA issue)
  • A JIRA associated with your PR (include the JIRA issue number in commit comment)
  • All tests in testsuite pass
  • Do a rebase on upstream master

Once you're happy with your changes go to GitHub and create a PR.

Release Keycloak
