Contributing to opentelemetry-go-build-tools

Development

You can view and edit the source code by cloning this repository:

git clone https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go-build-tools.git

Run make test to run the tests instead of go test.

There are some generated files checked into the repo. To make sure that the generated files are up-to-date, run make (or make precommit - the precommit target is the default).

The precommit target also fixes the formatting of the code and checks the status of the go module files.

If after running make precommit the output of git status contains nothing to commit, working tree clean then it means that everything is up-to-date and properly formatted.

Pull Requests

How to Send Pull Requests

Everyone is welcome to contribute code to opentelemetry-go-build-tools via GitHub pull requests (PRs).

Open a pull request against the main opentelemetry-go-build-tools repo. Be sure to add the pull request ID to the entry you added to CHANGELOG.md.

How to Receive Comments

  • If the PR is not ready for review, please put [WIP] in the title, tag it as work-in-progress, or mark it as draft.
  • Make sure CLA is signed and CI is clear.

How to Get PRs Merged

A PR is considered to be ready to merge when:

  • It has received two approvals from Collaborators/Maintainers (at different companies). This is not enforced through technical means and a PR may be ready to merge with a single approval if the change and its approach have been discussed and consensus reached.
  • Feedback has been addressed.
  • Any substantive changes to your PR will require that you clear any prior Approval reviews, this includes changes resulting from other feedback. Unless the approver explicitly stated that their approval will persist across changes it should be assumed that the PR needs their review again. Other project members (e.g. approvers, maintainers) can help with this if there are any questions or if you forget to clear reviews.
  • It has been open for review for at least one working day. This gives people reasonable time to review.
  • Trivial changes (typo, cosmetic, doc, etc.) do not have to wait for one day and may be merged with a single Maintainer's approval.
  • CHANGELOG.md has been updated to reflect what has been added, changed, removed, or fixed.
  • README.md has been updated if necessary.
  • Urgent fix can take exception as long as it has been actively communicated.

Any Maintainer can merge the PR once it is ready to merge.
