Developing Salt
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
If you want to help develop Salt there is a great need and your patches are
|
|
welcome!
|
|
|
|
To assist in Salt development, you can help in a number of ways.
|
|
|
|
Posting patches to the mailing list
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you have a patch for Salt, please format it via :command:`git format-patch` and
|
|
send it to the Salt users mailing list. This allows the patch to give you the
|
|
contributor the credit for your patch, and gives the Salt community an archive
|
|
of the patch and a place for discussion.
|
|
|
|
Setting a Github pull request
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This is probably the preferred method for contributions, simply create a Github
|
|
fork, commit your changes to the fork, and then open up a pull request.
|
|
|
|
Contributions Welcome!
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
The goal here it to make contributions clear, make sure there is a trail for
|
|
where the code has come from, but most importantly, to give credit where credit
|
|
is due!
|
|
|
|
The `Open Comparison Contributing Docs`__ has some good suggestions and tips for
|
|
those who are looking forward to contribute.
