Code of Conduct

Please do check our Code of Conduct before making contributions.

Topics

Reporting security issues

We take security issues seriously and discourage anyone to spread security issues. If you find a security issue in KubeAdmiral, please do not discuss it in public and even do not open a public issue. Instead we encourage you to send us a private email to mailto:[email protected] to report the security issue.

Reporting general issues

Any user is welcome be a contributor. If you have any feedback for the project, feel free to open an issue.

Since KubeAdmiral development will be collaborated in a distributed manner, we appreciate WELL-WRITTEN, DETAILED, EXPLICIT issue reports. To make communication more efficient, we suggest everyone to search if your issue is an existing one before filing a new issue. If you find it to be existing, please append your details in the issue comments.

There are lot of cases for which you could open an issue:

  • Bug report

It is impossible to list them completely, we are looking forward to your pull requests. Before submitting a PR, we suggest you could take a look at the PR rules here.

Workspace Preparation

We assume you have a GitHub ID already, then you could finish the preparation in the following steps:

  1. FORK KubeAdmiral to your repository. To make this work, you just need to click the button Create fork on kubeadmiral fork page. Then you will end up with your repository in https://github.com/<username>/kubeadmiral, in which username is your GitHub ID.
  2. CLONE your own repository to develop locally. Use git clone https://github.com/<username>/kubeadmiral.git to clone repository to your local machine. Then you can create new branches to finish the change you wish to make.
  3. Set Remote upstream to be kubeadmiral using the following two commands:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/kubeadmiralio/kubeadmiral.git
git remote set-url --push upstream no-pushing

With this remote setting, you can check your git remote configuration like this:

$ git remote -v
origin     https://github.com/<username>/kubeadmiral.git (fetch)
origin     https://github.com/<username>/kubeadmiral.git (push)
upstream   https://github.com/kubewharf/kubeadmiral.git (fetch)
upstream   no-pushing (push)

With above, we can easily synchronize local branches with upstream branches.

You can test your local changes to KubeAdmiral using following commands:

make kind # create a federation of host and members using kind
make

Branch Definition

Right now we assume every contribution via pull request is for the main branch in KubeAdmiral.

Commit Rules

Please also keep commits small and avoid involving unrelated changes into the same commit. This helps reviewing pull requests more quickly and avoids wasting time resolving git conflicts.
