Contributing to Ansible
=======================
It is required that you read the following information to learn how to contribute to this project.
Branch Info
===========
Here's how to understand the branches.
* The devel branch corresponds to the latest ongoing release
* Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
* All feature work happens on the development branch.
* Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
* See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.
Patch Instructions
==================
Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
* Required Process:
* Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
* Fixes for bugs may also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
* Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
* Bonus points:
* Joining the mailing list
* Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
* Using squash merges
* Updating the "rst/*" files in the "docsite/" directory and "docs/" manpage content
* Adding more unit tests
* Avoid:
* Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
* Sending feature pull requests to the 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
* Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
* Sending pull requests about more than one feature in the same pull request.
* Whitespace restructuring
* Large scale refactoring without a discussion on the list
Coding Standards
================
We're not too strict on style considerations, but we require:
* python 2.6 compliant code, unless in ansible modules, then python *2.4* compliant code (no 'with', etc)
* 4-space indents, no tabs except in Makefiles
* under_scores for method names and variables, not camelCase
* GPLv3 license headers on all files, with copyright on new files with your name on it
* no single-line if statements, deeply nested list comprehensions, or clever use of metaclasses -- keep it simple
* comments where appropriate
Contributors License Agreement
==============================
By contributing you agree that these contributions are your own (or approved by your employer) and you grant a full, complete, irrevocable
copyright license to all users and developers of the project, present and future, persusant to the license of the project.
