# How to Contribute
When submitting a pull request (PR), please use the following guidelines:
- Try to keep pull requests short and submit separate ones for unrelated
features, but feel free to combine simple bugfixes/tests into one pull request.
- Keep the number of commits small and combine commits for related changes.
Each commit should compile on its own and ideally pass tests.
- If you are introducing a new feature you may want to first submit your idea
of feedback in the [mailing list](mailto:druid-development@googlegroups.com).
- Bugfixes should include a unit-test or integration test reproducing the issue.
- Non-trivial features should include unit-test covering the new functionality.
- Make sure your code respects existing formatting conventions. We don't have a
formal style guide yet, but use your own judgement. If you are using
IntelliJ, you can use import our code style settings jar
[intellij_formatting.jar](https://github.com/druid-io/druid/raw/master/intellij_formatting.jar).
- Keep formatting changes in separate commits to make code reviews easier and
distinguish them from actual code changes.
## GitHub Workflow
1. Fork the druid-io/druid repository into your GitHub account
https://github.com/druid-io/druid
https://github.com/druid-io/druid/fork
2. Clone your fork of the GitHub repository
1. Clone your fork of the GitHub repository
```sh
git clone git@github.com:<ghuser>/druid.git
```
```sh
git clone git@github.com:<username>/druid.git
```
Add a remote to keep up with upstream changes
replace `<username>` with your GitHub username.
```
git remote add upstream https://github.com/druid-io/druid.git
```
1. Add a remote to keep up with upstream changes
If you already have a copy, fetch upstream changes
```
git remote add upstream https://github.com/druid-io/druid.git
```
```
git fetch upstream
```
If you already have a copy, fetch upstream changes
3. Create a feature branch to work in
```
git fetch upstream
```
```
git checkout -b feature-xxx remotes/upstream/master
```
1. Create a feature branch to work in
4. Work in your feature branch
```
git checkout -b feature-xxx remotes/upstream/master
```
```
git commit -a
```
1. Work in your feature branch
5. Periodically rebase your changes
```
git commit -a
```
```
git pull --rebase
```
1. Periodically rebase your changes
6. When done, "squash" your commits
```
git pull --rebase
```
```
git rebase -i upstream/master
```
1. When done, combine ("squash") related commits into a single one
Prefix commits using `s` (squash) or `f` (fixup) to merge extraneous commits.
```
git rebase -i upstream/master
```
7. Submit a pull-request
This will open your editor and allow you to re-order commits and merge them:
- Re-order the lines to change commit order (to the extent possible without creating conflicts)
- Prefix commits using `s` (squash) or `f` (fixup) to merge extraneous commits.
```
git push origin feature-xxx
```
1. Submit a pull-request
Go to your Druid fork main page
```
git push origin feature-xxx
```
https://github.com/<ghuser>/druid
Go to your Druid fork main page
If you recently pushed your changes GitHub will automatically pop up a
`Compare & pull request` button for any branches you recently pushed to. If you
click that button it will automatically offer you to submit your pull-request
to the druid-io/druid repository.

Push your updated changes to update the pull request
Repeat steps 4. through 6. to address any code review comments and
rebase your changes if necessary.
```
git push origin [--force] feature-xxx
```
Push your updated changes to update the pull request
`--force` may be necessary to overwrite your existing pull request in case your
commit history was changed when performing the rebase.
```
git push origin [--force] feature-xxx
```
Note: Be careful when using `--force` since you may lose data if you are not careful.

Never fear, if you occasionally merged upgstream/master, here is another way to squash your changes into a single commit
Rename your existing branch first
1. First, rename your existing branch to something else, e.g. `feature-xxx-unclean`
```
git branch -m feature-xxx-unclean
```
```
git branch -m feature-xxx-unclean
```
Checkout a new branch with the original name `feature-xxx` from upstream. This branch will supercede our old one.
