| # Contributing |
| |
| Please refer to the [contributor guide](https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/Contributor_Guide) for all the details. |
| Contributions require that you sign the [Eclipse Contributor Agreement](https://www.eclipse.org/legal/ECA.php). |
| |
| ## Reporting bugs |
| |
| For anything other than small changes, it's a good idea to open a bug |
| report for it (in case one doesn't already exist). This gives others the |
| chance to give input and is useful for tracking. |
| [Open JGit issues on GitHub](https://github.com/eclipse-jgit/jgit/issues). |
| |
| Older bugs can be found [in Bugzilla](https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=JGit&list_id=21379030&product=JGit). |
| |
| ## Submitting changes |
| |
| - We use [Gerrit on GerritHub](https://eclipse.gerrithub.io/q/project:eclipse-jgit/jgit+status:open) |
| to review all changes by committers or contributors before they are merged. |
| - Make sure you have an account and have set up the `commit-msg` hook |
| before committing. |
| - When committing your changes, see the contributor guide or other commits |
| on what your commit message should include. |
| - Run the following to push your change for review (with `username` |
| replaced by your GitHub username): |
| |
| ```bash |
| git push ssh://username@eclipse.gerrithub.io:29418/eclipse-jgit/jgit HEAD:refs/for/master |
| ``` |
| |
| - Add the link to the review as a comment on the bug report, so that |
| people coming from the bug report can find it. |
| - Then wait for someone to review your change. If there is something to be |
| corrected, amend your commit and push it again. |
| |
| Have fun :). |
