Code Contributions
Overview
The recommended Github workflow here is for developers to submit code and documentation contributions to MOSIP open source repositories.
Setup
1.Fork MOSIP repository of interest from https://github.com/mosip/
2.Clone the fork to your local machine. E.g.:
1
$ git clone https://github.com/<your_github_id>/commons.git
Copied!
3.Set upstream project as the original from where you forked. E.g.:
1
$ cd commons
2
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/mosip/commons.git
Copied!
4.Make sure you never directly push to upstream.
1
$ git remote set-url --push upstream no_push
Copied!
5.Confirm the origin and upstream.
1
$ git remote -v
Copied!
Code changes
1.Create a new issue in MOSIP Jira.
2.You may work on master, switch to a branch (like Release branch) or create a new branch.
3.Make sure you are up-to-date with upstream repo.
1
$ git pull upstream <branch> 
Copied!
4.Once you are done with the work, commit your changes referring to Jira number in the commit message. Eg:
1
$ git commit -m "[MOS-2346] Adding new upload feature in Pre-registration module for POA documents"
Copied!
5.Once again ensure that you are up-to-date with upstream repo as it may have moved forward.
1
$ git pull upstream <branch> 
Copied!
6.Build and test your code. Make sure it follows the coding guidelines.
7.Push to your forked repo (origin).
1
$ git push 
Copied!
8.Create a pull-request on your forked repo. Direct the pull-request to master or any specific branch on upstream (like a Release branch).
9.Make sure the automatic tests on Github for your pull-request pass.
10.The pull-request shall be reviewed by reviewers.
