You'll also need +to have configured `git send-email` — a guide for this can be found at +https://git-send-email.io/. + +== Making Changes + +The process of making changes is similar to working on any git repository. + +. Create a branch for your changes: ++ +[source,shell] +---- +git checkout -b fix-docs # for example +---- +. Make changes in your editor. +. Stage and commit your changes: ++ +[source,shell] +---- +git add Documentation/first-patch.adoc # for example +git commit -s +---- ++ +TIP: The `-s` option adds a `Signed-off-by` line to the commit. This +indicates your acceptance of the +https://spectrum-os.org/git/spectrum/tree/DCO-1.1.txt[Developer's +Certificate of Origin], which is mandatory for Spectrum patches. + +== Submitting Changes + +Once you're happy with how the commits on your branch look, run: + +[source,shell] +---- +git send-email --to devel@spectrum-os.org --confirm=always origin/main +---- + +For each message, you will be prompted for confirmation, and then the +change will be submitted to the Spectrum development mailing list. +They will appear shortly on the +https://spectrum-os.org/lists/hyperkitty/list/devel@spectrum-os.org/[web +interface]. + +[#cover-letter] +TIP: If you're submitting multiple changes, and you'd like to provide +an overall description for the whole series, you can add the +`--compose` option, which will prompt you to compose a "cover letter" +message that will be sent before all of your patches. + +== Feedback + +Once your patch has been submitted, wait for it to be reviewed. +Feedback, if any, will be sent as email replies to your submitted +patch. You can respond to feedback in your mail client. + +Use the *Reply All* button to sent your messages to the +mailing list as well as to the person who sent the feedback. + +If you need to make changes to your patch and submit a new version, +use https://git-rebase.io/[`git rebase`] to create a new version of +your patch(es) and then submit it like this: + +[source,shell] +---- +git send-email -v2 --to devel@spectrum-os.org --confirm=always origin/main +---- + +The added `-v2` flag indicates that this is version two of your +patch set. If your patches require more rounds of changes, submit +subsequent rounds with `-v3`, `-v4`, etc. as appropriate. + +If you would like to describe what has changed from the previous version +of your patches, you can do so in a xref:cover-letter[cover letter] +as described above. + +== Acceptance + +Once your patch has been accepted, it will be applied to the upstream +Spectrum git repository. You will receive an automated email +confirmation when this happens. + +== Questions + +If you have any questions about the patch submission process, you can +ask them either on the +https://spectrum-os.org/participating.html#spectrum-devel[development +mailing list], or in the +https://spectrum-os.org/participating.html#irc[IRC/Matrix channel]. |
