# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Contributions should be made via pull requests. Pull requests will be reviewed
|
|
by one or more maintainers and merged when acceptable.
|
|
|
|
The goal of the Awesome Compose is to provide a curated list of application
|
|
samples that can be easily deployed with [Docker Compose](https://github.com/docker/compose).
|
|
|
|
## Missing an example?
|
|
|
|
You can request a new example of an application by submitting an issue to our GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
Before submitting a new application, check if there isn't already application sample matching your need.
|
|
|
|
If there is one, consider updating it instead of creating a new one.
|
|
|
|
If you would like to submit a new application example, please start by submitting a proposal as an issue.
|
|
The maintainers will then use this issue to discuss what the the most valuable example for the application,
|
|
technology, language, or framework would be.
|
|
|
|
After the choice has been made, you can submit a pull request with the example remembering to:
|
|
- include an example README.md to describe the application and explain how to run/use the sample.
|
|
- edit the global README.md to add your sample in the repository main list.
|
|
|
|
## Commit Messages
|
|
|
|
Commit messages should follow best practices and explain the context of the
|
|
problem and how it was solved-- including any caveats or follow up changes
|
|
required. They should tell the story of the change and provide readers an
|
|
understanding of what led to it.
|
|
|
|
[How to Write a Git Commit Message](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/)
|
|
provides a good guide for how to do so.
|
|
|
|
In practice, the best approach to maintaining a nice commit message is to
|
|
leverage a `git add -p` and `git commit --amend` to formulate a solid
|
|
change set. This allows one to piece together a change, as information becomes
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
If you squash a series of commits, don't just submit that. Re-write the commit
|
|
message, as if the series of commits was a single stroke of brilliance.
|
|
|
|
That said, there is no requirement to have a single commit for a pull request,
|
|
as long as each commit tells the story. For example, if there is a feature that
|
|
requires a package, it might make sense to have the package in a separate commit
|
|
then have a subsequent commit that uses it.
|
|
|
|
Remember, you're telling part of the story with the commit message. Don't make
|
|
your chapter weird.
|
|
|
|
## Sign your work
|
|
|
|
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your
|
|
signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass
|
|
it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify
|
|
the below (from [developercertificate.org](http://developercertificate.org/)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
|
|
|
|
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
|
|
|
|
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
|
|
have the right to submit it under the open source license
|
|
indicated in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
|
|
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
|
|
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
|
|
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
|
|
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
|
|
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
|
|
in the file; or
|
|
|
|
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
|
|
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
|
|

personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
|
|
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
|
|
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you just add a line to every git commit message:
|
|
|
|
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <joe.smith@email.com>
|
|
|
|
Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
|
|
|
|
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
|
|
commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
