Contributing to tanzu-cli

We welcome contributions from the community and first want to thank you for taking the time to contribute!

Please familiarize yourself with the Code of Conduct before contributing.

Before you start working with tanzu-cli, please read and sign our Contributor License Agreement. If you wish to contribute code and you have not signed our contributor license agreement (CLA), our bot will prompt you to do so when you open a Pull Request.

Ways to contribute

We welcome many different types of contributions and not all of them need a Pull request. Contributions may include:

  • New features and proposals
  • Documentation
  • Bug fixes
  • Issue Triage
  • Answering questions and giving feedback
  • Helping to onboard new contributors
  • Other related activities

Roadmap

The near-term and mid-term roadmap for the work planned for the project is documented in the Tanzu CLI Project Roadmap.

Getting started

Details about how to get started with the project can be found in the development guide.

Contribution Flow

This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:

  • Make a fork of the repository within your GitHub account
  • Create a topic branch in your fork from where you want to base your work
  • Make commits of logical units
  • Make sure your commit messages are with the proper format, quality and descriptiveness (see below)
  • Push your changes to the topic branch in your fork
  • Create a pull request containing that commit

We follow the GitHub workflow and you can find more details on the GitHub flow documentation.

Pull Request Checklist

Before submitting your pull request, we advise you to use the following:

  1. Check if your code changes will pass both code linting checks and unit tests. It is recommended that the make all target for this purpose.
  2. Ensure your commit messages are descriptive. We follow the conventions on How to Write a Git Commit Message. Be sure to include any related GitHub issue references in the commit message. See GFM syntax for referencing issues and commits.
  3. Check the commits and commits messages and ensure they are free from typos.

Reporting Bugs and Creating Issues

For specifics on what to include in your report, please follow the guidelines in the issue and pull request templates when available.

Ask for Help

The best way to reach us with a question when contributing is to ask on the GitHub issue for which the contribution is considered.
