New to GitHub?

GitHub has terrific Guides to help developers through various aspects of contributing to open source projects.

Making Changes

Understanding the "wip" branch

The latest F2 changes can be found in the *-wip branch. This branch's name uses the upcoming version number followed by -wip which stands for "work-in-progress", for example 1.3.1-wip as shown below. There should only be one -wip branch at any given time.

Do not work directly in master!

Steps

Once you've forked the F2 repository:

  1. Create a new branch in your fork from the next version *-wip branch. Do not work directly in master!
    • $> git checkout -b 'your_branch_name' *-wip
  2. Read the F2 coding standards.
  3. Add and document unit test(s) for your changes. At least one unit test is required for new or changed functionality.
  4. Re-run all the Jasmine tests to confirm your changes didn't break anything. $> npm test and/or $> npm run test-live
  5. Perform browser testing in supported browsers.

Committing Changes

  • You should only commit files you have changed. Do not commit compiled or generated F2 files
  • After you've staged your changes, add a detailed commit message.
  • Push committed changes to your fork's branch.
  • Submit a pull request for F2\*-wip not F2\master.
  • Add a message or additional detail for your changes in the pull request comments.
  • Wait for your change(s) to be reviewed.

Coding Standards

Coding standards promote a common vocabulary and syntax so that our fellow developers can concentrate on what you're saying rather than on how you're saying it. It is ultimately up to you how you write your own code, but please become familiar with the standards and use them when contributing to F2.

Coding standards help an individual project, and also make it easier for one project to reuse components from another project.

Read our coding standards.
