We would love for you to contribute to Apache APISIX Dashboard and help make it even better than it is today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:
This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Apache software Foundation's Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to adhere to this code. If you are aware of unacceptable behavior, please visit the Reporting Guidelines page and follow the instructions there.
Most of the contributions that we receive are code contributions, but you can also contribute to the documentation or simply report solid bugs for us to fix.
Ensure the bug was not already reported by searching on GitHub under Issues.
If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, open a new one. Be sure to include a title and clear description, as much relevant information as possible, and a code sample or an executable test case demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.
Before making any significant changes, please open an issue. Discussing your proposed changes ahead of time will make the contribution process smooth for everyone.
Once we've discussed your changes and you've got your code ready, make sure that tests are passing and open your pull request. Your PR is most likely to be accepted if it:
This specification is inspired by and supersedes the [AngularJS commit message format][commit-message-format].
We have very precise rules over how our Git commit messages must be formatted. This format leads to easier to read commit history.
Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer.
<header>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
The header
is mandatory and must conform to the Commit Message Header format.
The body
is mandatory for all commits except for those of type "docs".
When the body is present it must be at least 20 characters long and must conform to the Commit Message Body format.
The footer
is optional. The Commit Message Footer format describes what the footer is used for and the structure it must have.
Any line of the commit message cannot be longer than 100 characters.
<type>(<scope>): <short summary>
│ │ │
│ │ └─⫸ Summary in present tense. Not capitalized. No period at the end.
│ │
│ └─⫸ Commit Scope: route|upstream|consumer|ssl|plugin|common
│
└─⫸ Commit Type: build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|test
The <type>
and <summary>
fields are mandatory, the (<scope>)
field is optional.
Must be one of the following:
The scope should be the name of the npm package affected (as perceived by the person reading the changelog generated from commit messages).
The following is the list of supported scopes:
route
upstream
consumer
ssl
plugin
common
There are currently a few exceptions to the "use package name" rule:
packaging
: used for changes that change the npm package layout in all of our packages, e.g. public path changes, package.json changes done to all packages, d.ts file/format changes, changes to bundles, etc.
changelog
: used for updating the release notes in CHANGELOG.md
none/empty string: useful for test
and refactor
changes that are done across all packages (e.g. test: add missing unit tests
) and for docs changes that are not related to a specific package (e.g. docs: fix typo in tutorial
).
Use the summary field to provide a succinct description of the change:
Just as in the summary, use the imperative, present tense: "fix" not "fixed" nor "fixes".
Explain the motivation for the change in the commit message body. This commit message should explain why you are making the change. You can include a comparison of the previous behavior with the new behavior in order to illustrate the impact of the change.
The footer can contain information about breaking changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues, Jira tickets, and other PRs that this commit closes or is related to.
BREAKING CHANGE: <breaking change summary>
<BLANK LINE>
<breaking change description + migration instructions>
<BLANK LINE>
<BLANK LINE>
Fixes #<issue number>
Breaking Change section should start with the phrase "BREAKING CHANGE: " followed by a summary of the breaking change, a blank line, and a detailed description of the breaking change that also includes migration instructions.
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert:
, followed by the header of the reverted commit.
The content of the commit message body should contain:
This reverts commit <SHA>
,
