For a quick getting started guide, +there is the "Everyday Git With 20 Commands Or So guide" + + https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html + +from the Git homepage. For more in depth git documentation, see the +resources on the Git community documentation page: + + https://git-scm.com/documentation + +Pixman uses the infrastructure from the freedesktop.org umbrella +project. For instructions about how to use the git service on +freedesktop.org, see: + + https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Infrastructure/git/Developers + +The Pixman master repository can be found at: + + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman + + +Sending patches +--------------- + +Patches should be submitted in form of Merge Requests via Gitlab. + +You will first need to create a fork of the main pixman repository at + + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pixman/pixman + +via the Fork button on the top right. Once that is done you can add your +personal repository as a remote to your local pixman development git checkout: + + git remote add my-gitlab git@gitlab.freedesktop.org:YOURUSERNAME/pixman.git + + git fetch my-gitlab + +Make sure to have added ssh keys to your gitlab profile at + + https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/profile/keys + +Once that is set up, the general workflow for sending patches is to create a +new local branch with your improvements and once it's ready push it to your +personal pixman fork: + + git checkout -b fix-some-bug + ... + git push my-gitlab + +The output of the `git push` command will include a link that allows you to +create a Merge Request against the official pixman repository. + +Whenever you make changes to your branch (add new commits or fix up commits) +you push them back to your personal pixman fork: + + git push -f my-gitlab + +If there is an open Merge Request Gitlab will automatically pick up the +changes from your branch and pixman developers can review them anew. + +In order for your patches to be accepted, please consider the +following guidelines: + + - At each point in the series, pixman should compile and the test + suite should pass. + + The exception here is if you are changing the test suite to + demonstrate a bug. In this case, make one commit that makes the + test suite fail due to the bug, and then another commit that fixes + the bug. + + You can run the test suite with + + make check + + if you built pixman with autotools or + + meson test -C builddir + + if you built pixman with meson. + + It will take around two minutes to run on a modern PC. + + - Follow the coding style described in the CODING_STYLE file + + - For bug fixes, include an update to the test suite to make sure + the bug doesn't reappear. + + - For new features, add tests of the feature to the test + suite. Also, add a program demonstrating the new feature to the + demos/ directory. + + - Write descriptive commit messages. Useful information to include: + - Benchmark results, before and after + - Description of the bug that was fixed + - Detailed rationale for any new API + - Alternative approaches that were rejected (and why they + don't work) + - If review comments were incorporated, a brief version + history describing what those changes were. + + - For big patch series, write an introductory post with an overall + description of the patch series, including benchmarks and + motivation. Each commit message should still be descriptive and + include enough information to understand why this particular commit + was necessary. + +Pixman has high standards for code quality and so almost everybody +should expect to have the first versions of their patches rejected. + +If you think that the reviewers are wrong about something, or that the +guidelines above are wrong, feel free to discuss the issue. The purpose +of the guidelines and code review is to ensure high code quality; it is +not an exercise in compliance. |
