Contributing¶

If you would like to contribute to Philo, thank you! However, there are some things you must know first.

Branches and Code Style¶

We use A successful Git branching model with the blessed repository. To make things easier, you probably should too. This means that you should work on and against the develop branch in most cases, and leave it to the release manager to create the commits on the master branch if and when necessary.

Licensing and Legal¶

In order for the release manager to merge your changes into the blessed repository, you will need to submit a signed CLA.

If you are an individual not doing work for an employer, then you can simply submit the Individual CLA (ithinksw-icla.txt).

If you are doing work for an employer, they will need to submit the Corporate CLA (ithinksw-ccla.txt) and you will need to submit the Individual CLA (ithinksw-icla.txt) as well. Both documents include information on how to submit them.
