How to Contribute
GitHub Workflow
- Fork the druid-io/druid repository into your GitHub account
https://github.com/druid-io/druid
- Clone your fork of the GitHub repository
git clone git@github.com:<ghuser>/druid.git
Add a remote to keep up with upstream changes
git remote add upstream https://github.com/druid-io/druid.git
If you already have a copy, fetch upstream changes
git fetch upstream
- Create a feature branch to work in
git checkout -b feature-xxx remotes/upstream/master
- Work in your feature branch
git commit -a
- Periodically rebase your changes
git pull --rebase
- When done, "squash" your commits
git rebase -i upstream/master
Prefix commits using s
(squash) or f
(fixup) to merge extraneous commits.
- Submit a pull-request
git push origin feature-xxx
Go to your Druid fork main page
https://github.com//druid
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.
- Give your pull-request a meaningful title.
- In the description, explain your changes and the problem they are solving.
- Addressing code review comments
Repeat steps 4. through 6. to address any code review comments and rebase your changes if necessary.
Push your updated changes to update the pull request
git push origin [--force] feature-xxx
--force
may be necessary to overwrite your existing pull request in case your
commit history was changed when performing the rebase.
Note: Be careful when using --force
since you may lose data if you are not careful.
git push origin --force feature-xxx
FAQ
Help! I merged changes from upstream and cannot figure out how to resolve conflits when rebasing!
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
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.
git checkout -b feature-xxx upstream/master
Then merge your changes in your original feature branch feature-xxx-unclean
and create a single commit.
git merge --squash feature-xxx-unclean
git commit
You can now submit this new branch and create or replace your existing pull request
git push origin [--force] feature-xxx:feature-xxx
