Contributing to Eclipse CDT Cloud Memory Inspector

This repository is the home to the CDT Cloud Memory Inspector.

How Can I Contribute?

In the following some of the typical ways of contribution are described.

Asking Questions

It's totally fine to ask questions by opening an issue in the GitHub repository. We will close it once it's answered and tag it with the 'question' label. Please check if the question has been asked before.

Reporting Bugs

If you have found a bug, you should first check if it has already been filed and maybe even fixed in the issues. If you find an existing unresolved issue, please add your case. If you could not find an existing bug report, please file a new one. In any case, please add all information you can share and that will help to reproduce and solve the problem.

Reporting Feature Requests

You may want to see a feature or have an idea. You can file a request and we can discuss it. If such a feature request already exists, please add a comment or some other form of feedback to indicate you are interested, too. Also in this case any concrete use case scenario is appreciated to understand the motivation behind it.

Pull Requests

Before you get started investing significant time in something you want to get merged and maintained as part of this project, you should talk with the team by posting on an issue. Simply choose the issue you would want to work on, and tell everyone that you are willing to do so and how you would approach it. The team will be happy to guide you and give feedback.

Eclipse Contributor Agreement

Before your contribution can be accepted by the project team contributors must electronically sign the Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA).

Commits that are provided by non-committers must have a Signed-off-by field in the footer indicating that the author is aware of the terms by which the contribution has been provided to the project. The non-committer must additionally have an Eclipse Foundation account and must have a signed Eclipse Contributor Agreement (ECA) on file.

For more information, please see the Eclipse Committer Handbook: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#resources-commit

Sign your work

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch.

Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>

Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)

If you set your user.name and user.email git configs, you can sign your commit automatically with git commit -s.
