- Fork the repo, create a branch, implement your changes, add any relevant tests, submit a PR when your changes are tested and ready for review.
- Fill in our pull request template.
Note: if you'd like to implement a new feature, please consider creating a feature request issue first to start a discussion about the feature.
- Keep a clean, concise and meaningful git commit history on your branch (within reason), rebasing locally and squashing before submitting a PR.
- If possible and/or relevant, use the Conventional Commits format when writing a commit message, so that changelogs can be automatically generated
- Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/ and summarised in the next few points:
- In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
- In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...").
- Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less.
- Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line.
- Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (
git commit -a
to give you more space and time in your text editor to write a good message instead ofgit commit -am
).
- Update any entrypoint scripts via the the scripts contained in the
/entrypoint
directory. - Update any Dockerfiles via the Dockerfile templates in the root directory (e.g.
Dockerfile-alpine.template
). - Run the
./update.sh
script to apply all entrypoint/Dockerfile template changes to the relevant image entrypoints & Dockerfiles.
