Contributing to Cloudinary Go library

Contributions are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Reporting a bug

  • Make sure that the bug was not already reported by searching in GitHub under Issues and the Cloudinary Support forms.
  • If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new one. Be sure to include a title and clear description, as relevant information as possible, and a code sample, or an executable test case demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.
  • If you require assistance in the implementation of cloudinary-go please submit a request on Cloudinary's site.

Requesting a feature

We would love to receive your requests! Please be aware that the library is used in a wide variety of environments and that some features may not be applicable to all users.

  • Open a GitHub issue describing the benefits (and possible drawbacks) of the requested feature

Fixing a bug / Implementing a new feature

  • Follow the instructions detailed in Code contribution
  • Open a new GitHub pull request
  • Ensure the PR description clearly describes the bug / feature. Include relevant issue number if applicable.
  • Provide test code that covers the new code. See TEST.md for additional information about tests writing.

Code contribution

When contributing code, either to fix a bug or to implement a new feature, please follow these guidelines:

Fork the Project

Fork project on Github and check your copy.

git clone https://github.com/contributor/cloudinary-go.git
cd cloudinary-go
git remote add upstream https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-go.git

Create a Topic Branch

Make sure your fork is up-to-date and create a topic branch for your feature or bug fix.

git checkout main
git pull upstream main
git checkout -b feature/my-feature-branch

Rebase

If you've been working on a change for a while, rebase with upstream/main.

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/main
git push origin feature/my-feature-branch -f

Write Tests

Try to write a test that reproduces the problem you're trying to fix or describes a feature you would like to build.

We definitely appreciate pull requests that highlight or reproduce a problem, even without a fix.

See TEST.md for additional information about tests writing.

Write Code

Implement your feature or bug fix. Follow the following Go coding standards, described in Effective Go documentation.

Make sure that go test ./... completes without errors.

Write Documentation

Document any external behavior in the README.

Commit Changes

Make sure git knows your name and email address:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Writing good commit logs is important. A commit log should describe what changed and why.

git add ...
git commit

Please squash your commits into a single commit when appropriate. This simplifies future cherry-picks and keeps the git log clean.

Push

git push origin feature/my-feature-branch

Make a Pull Request

Go to https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-go/pulls. Click the 'New pull Request' button and fill out the form. Pull requests are normally reviewed within a few days. Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include relevant issue number if applicable.

Rebase

If you've been working on a change for a while, rebase with upstream/main.

git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/main
git push origin feature/my-feature-branch -f

Check on Your Pull Request

Go back to your pull request after a few minutes and see whether it passed muster with Travis-CI. Everything should look green, otherwise - fix issues and amend your commit as described above.

Be Patient

It's likely that your change will not be merged and that the nitpicky maintainers will ask you to do more, or fix seemingly benign problems. Hang on there!

Thank You

Please do know that we really appreciate and value your time and work. We love you, really.
