How to Contribute

GitHub Workflow

  1. Fork the druid-io/druid repository into your GitHub account

https://github.com/druid-io/druid

  1. 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
  1. Create a feature branch to work in
git checkout -b feature-xxx remotes/upstream/master
  1. Work in your feature branch
git commit -a
  1. Periodically rebase your changes
git pull --rebase
  1. When done, "squash" your commits
git rebase -i upstream/master

Prefix commits using s (squash) or f (fixup) to merge extraneous commits.

  1. 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.
  1. 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
