- GitHub Issues* for bug reports and feature requests.
- Slack: #go-git room in the source{d} Slack
*Before opening a new issue or submitting a new pull request, it's helpful to search the project - it's likely that another user has already reported the issue you're facing, or it's a known issue that we're already aware of.
How to Contribute
Pull Requests (PRs) are the main and exclusive way to contribute to the official go-git project. In order for a PR to be accepted it needs to pass a list of requirements:
- You should be able to run the same query using
git. We don't accept features that are not implemented in the official git implementation. - The expected behavior must match the official git implementation.
- The actual behavior must be correctly explained with natural language and providing a minimum working example in Go that reproduces it.
- All PRs must be written in idiomatic Go, formatted according to gofmt, and without any warnings from go lint nor go vet.
- They should in general include tests, and those shall pass.
- If the PR is a bug fix, it has to include a suite of unit tests for the new functionality.
- If the PR is a new feature, it has to come with a suite of unit tests, that tests the new functionality.
- In any case, all the PRs have to pass the personal evaluation of at least one of the maintainers of go-git.
