If you already have an SSH +key pair, you can skip the part of this section that explains how to generate one. + +What follows explains how to generate an SSH key pair in a Linux environment --- +follow the equivalent steps on your OS. + +First, create an SSH key pair with the command: + + ```sh + $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "John Doe john.doe@example.com" + ``` + +**Note:** This will ask you for a password to protect the private key as +it generates a unique key. Please keep this password private, and DO NOT +enter a blank password. + +The generated SSH key pair can be found in the files ``~/.ssh/id_rsa`` and +``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub``. + +Next, add the private key in the ``id_rsa`` file to your key ring, e.g.: + + ```sh + $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa + ``` + +Finally, add the public key of the generated key pair to the Gerrit +server, with the following steps: + +1. Go to [Gerrit](http://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/). + +2. Click on your account name in the upper right corner. + +3. From the pop-up menu, select ``Settings``. + +4. On the left side menu, click on ``SSH Public Keys``. + +5. Paste the contents of your public key ``~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`` and click + ``Add key``. + +**Note:** The ``id_rsa.pub`` file can be opened with any text editor. +Ensure that all the contents of the file are selected, copied and pasted +into the ``Add SSH key`` window in Gerrit. + +**Note:** The SSH key generation instructions operate on the assumption +that you are using the default naming. It is possible to generate +multiple SSH keys and to name the resulting files differently. See the +[ssh-keygen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-keygen) documentation for +details on how to do that. Once you have generated non-default keys, you +need to configure SSH to use the correct key for Gerrit. In that case, +you need to create a ``~/.ssh/config`` file modeled after the one below. + + ```sh +host gerrit.automotivelinux.org + HostName gerrit.automotivelinux.org + IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_automotivelinux_gerrit + User <LFID> +``` + +`<LFID>` is your Linux Foundation ID and the value of IdentityFile is the +name of the public key file you generated. + +**Warning:** Potential Security Risk!

The steps to install +git review are beyond the scope of this document. Refer to the +[git review documentation](https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/HowTo/FirstTimers) +for the installation process. + +To check out a specific change using Git, the following command usually +works: + +```sh +$ git review -d CHANGEID +``` + +If you don't have Git-review installed, the following commands will do +the same thing: + +```sh +$ git fetch REMOTE refs/changes/NN/CHANGEIDNN/VERSION \ && git checkout FETCH_HEAD +``` + +For example, for the 4th version of change 2464, NN is the first two +digits (24): + +```sh +$ git fetch REMOTE refs/changes/24/2464/4 \ && git checkout FETCH_HEAD +``` + +## Using Sandbox Branches + +You can create your own branches to develop features. The branches are +pushed to the ``refs/heads/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME`` location. + +These commands ensure the branch is created in Gerrit's server. + +```sh +$ git checkout -b sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME +$ git push --set-upstream REMOTE HEAD:refs/heads/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME +``` + +Usually, the process to create content is: + +- develop the code, +- break the information into small commits, +- submit changes, +- apply feedback, +- rebase. + +The next command pushes forcibly without review: + +```sh +$ git push REMOTE sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME +``` + +You can also push forcibly with review: + +```sh +$ git push REMOTE HEAD:ref/for/sandbox/USERNAME/BRANCHNAME +``` + +## Updating the Version of a Change + +During the review process, you might be asked to update your change. It +is possible to submit multiple versions of the same change. Each version +of the change is called a patch set. + +Always maintain the **Change-Id** that was assigned. For example, there +is a list of commits, **c0...c7**, which were submitted as a topic +branch: + +```sh + +$ git log REMOTE/master..master + + c0 + ... + c7 + +$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/for/master/SOMETOPIC +``` + +After you get reviewers' feedback, there are changes in **c3** and +**c4** that must be fixed. If the fix requires rebasing, rebasing +changes the commit Ids, see the [rebasing](http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing) section for more information. However, you must keep the same Change-Id +and push the changes again: + +```sh +$ git push REMOTE HEAD:refs/for/master/SOMETOPIC +``` + +This new push creates a patches revision, your local history is then +cleared. However you can still access the history of your changes in +Gerrit on the ``review UI`` section, for each change. + +It is also permitted to add more commits when pushing new versions. + +### Rebasing + +Rebasing is usually the last step before pushing changes to Gerrit; this +allows you to make the necessary *Change-Ids*. The *Change-Ids* must be +kept the same. + +- **squash:** mixes two or more commits into a single one. +- **reword:** changes the commit message. +- **edit:** changes the commit content. +- **reorder:** allows you to interchange the order of the commits. +- **rebase:** stacks the commits on top of the master. + +## Rebasing During a Pull + +Before pushing a rebase to your master, ensure that the history has a +consecutive order. + +For example, your ``REMOTE/master`` has the list of commits from **a0** +to **a4**; Then, your changes **c0...c7** are on top of **a4**; thus: + +```sh +$ git log --oneline REMOTE/master..master + + a0 + a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + c0 + c1 + ... + c7 +``` + +If ``REMOTE/master`` receives commits **a5**, **a6** and **a7**. Pull +with a rebase as follows: + +```sh +$ git pull --rebase REMOTE master +``` + +This pulls **a5-a7** and re-apply **c0-c7** on top of them: + +```sh +$ git log --oneline REMOTE/master..master +a0 +... +a7 +c0 +c1 +... +c7 +``` + +## Getting Better Logs from Git + +Use these commands to change the configuration of Git in order to +produce better logs: + +```sh +$ git config log.abbrevCommit true +``` + +The command above sets the log to abbreviate the commits' hash. + +```sh +$ git config log.abbrev 5 +``` + +The command above sets the abbreviation length to the last 5 characters +of the hash. + +```sh +$ git config format.pretty oneline +``` + +The command above avoids the insertion of an unnecessary line before the +Author line. diff --git a/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/7_General_Guidelines.md b/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/7_General_Guidelines.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc0ece5 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/7_General_Guidelines.md @@ -0,0 +1,170 @@ +--- +title: General Guidelines +--- + +## Getting help + +If you are looking for something to work on, or need some expert +assistance in debugging a problem or working out a fix to an issue, our +community is always eager to help. We hang out on various +[developer meetings](https://www.automotivelinux.org/developer-meetings/), +IRC (#automotive on freenode.net) and the +[mailing lists](https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community). +We will be glad to help. The only silly question is the one you don't ask. +Questions are in fact a great way to help improve the project as they highlight +where our documentation could be clearer. + +## Reporting bugs + +If you are a user and you have found a bug, please submit an issue using +[JIRA](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/). Before you create a new JIRA +issue, please try to search the existing items to be sure no one else has +previously reported it. If it has been previously reported, then you +might add a comment that you also are interested in seeing the defect +fixed. + +If it has not been previously reported, create a new JIRA. Please try to +provide sufficient information for someone else to reproduce the issue. +One of the project's maintainers should respond to your issue within 24 +hours. If not, please bump the issue with a comment and request that it +be reviewed. + +## Submitting your fix + +If you just submitted a JIRA for a bug you've discovered, and would like to +provide a fix, we would welcome that gladly! Please assign the JIRA issue to +yourself, then you can submit a change request (CR). + +**NOTE:** If you need help with submitting your first CR, we have created +a brief [tutorial](./4_Submitting_Changes.md) for you. + +## Fixing issues and working stories + +Review the [open issue list](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/issues/?filter=-5) and find +something that interests you. It is wise to start with something +relatively straight forward and achievable, and that no one is already +assigned. If no one is assigned, then assign the issue to yourself. +Please be considerate and rescind the assignment if you cannot finish in +a reasonable time, or add a comment saying that you are still actively +working the issue if you need a little more time. + +## Reviewing submitted Change Requests (CRs) + +Another way to contribute and learn about Automotive Grade Linux is to help the +maintainers with the review of the CRs that are open. Indeed +maintainers have the difficult role of having to review all the CRs +that are being submitted and evaluate whether they should be merged or +not. You can review the code and/or documentation changes, test the +changes, and tell the submitters and maintainers what you think. Once +your review and/or test is complete just reply to the CR with your +findings, by adding comments and/or voting. A comment saying something +like "I tried it on system X and it works" or possibly "I got an error +on system X: xxx " will help the maintainers in their evaluation. As a +result, maintainers will be able to process CRs faster and everybody +will gain from it. + +Just browse through the [open CRs on Gerrit](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/q/status:open) to get started. + +## Making Feature/Enhancement Proposals + +Review [JIRA](https://jira.automotivelinux.org/) to be sure that there +isn't already an open (or recently closed) proposal for the same +function. If there isn't, to make a proposal we recommend that you open a +JIRA Epic, Story or Improvement, whichever seems to best fit the +circumstance and link or inline a "one pager" of the proposal that states +what the feature would do and, if possible, how it might be implemented. +It would help also to make a case for why the feature should be added, +such as identifying specific use case(s) for which the feature is needed +and a case for what the benefit would be should the feature be +implemented. Once the JIRA issue is created, and the "one pager" either +attached, inlined in the description field, or a link to a publicly +accessible document is added to the description, send an introductory +email to the [agl-dev community](mailto:agl-dev-community@lists.automotivelinux.org) mailing +list linking the JIRA issue, and soliciting feedback. + +Discussion of the proposed feature should be conducted in the JIRA issue +itself, so that we have a consistent pattern within our community as to +where to find design discussion. + +Getting the support of three or more of the AGL maintainers for the new +feature will greatly enhance the probability that the feature's related +CRs will be merged. + +## What makes a good change request? + +- One change at a time. Not five, not three, not ten. One and only one. + Why? Because it limits the blast area of the change. If we have a + regression, it is much easier to identify the culprit commit than if + we have some composite change that impacts more of the code. + +- Include a link to the JIRA story for the change. Why? Because a) we + want to track our velocity to better judge what we think we can + deliver and when and b) because we can justify the change more + effectively. In many cases, there should be some discussion around a + proposed change and we want to link back to that from the change + itself. + +- Include unit and integration tests (or changes to existing tests) + with every change. This does not mean just happy path testing, + either. It also means negative testing of any defensive code that it + correctly catches input errors. When you write code, you are + responsible to test it and provide the tests that demonstrate that + your change does what it claims. Why? Because without this we have no + clue whether our current code base actually works. + +- Minimize the lines of code per CR. Why? If you send a 1,000 or 2,000 +LOC change, how long do you think it takes to review all of that code? +Keep your changes to < 200-300 LOC, if possible. If you have a larger +change, decompose it into multiple independent changess. If you are +adding a bunch of new functions to fulfill the requirements of a new +capability, add them separately with their tests, and then write the code +that uses them to deliver the capability. Of course, there are always +exceptions. If you add a small change and then add 300 LOC of tests, you +will be forgiven;-) If you need to make a change that has broad impact or +a bunch of generated code (protobufs, etc.). Again, there can be +exceptions. + + **NOTE:** Large change requests, e.g. those with more than 300 LOC + are more likely than not going to receive a -2, and you'll be asked + to refactor the change to conform with this guidance. + +- Do not stack change requests (e.g. submit a CR from the same local branch + as your previous CR) unless they are related. This will minimize merge + conflicts and allow changes to be merged more quickly. If you stack requests + your subsequent requests may be held up because of review comments in the + preceding requests. + +- Write a meaningful commit message. Include a meaningful 50 (or less) + character title, followed by a blank line, followed by a more + comprehensive description of the change. Each change MUST include the JIRA + identifier corresponding to the change (e.g. [SPEC-1234]). This can be + in the title but should also be in the body of the commit message. See the [complete requirements](./4_Submitting_Changes.md) for an acceptable change + request. + + **NOTE:** That Gerrit will automatically create a hyperlink to the JIRA item. + + ```sh + Bug-AGL: [SPEC-<JIRA-ID>] .... + + Fix [SPEC-<JIRA-ID>] .... + ``` + +Finally, be responsive. Don't let a change request fester with review +comments such that it gets to a point that it requires a rebase. It only +further delays getting it merged and adds more work for you - to +remediate the merge conflicts. + +## Legal stuff + +We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions. This +applies to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution. + +We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review, the developer must +include a sign-off statement in the commit message. + +```sh +Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com> +``` + +You can include this automatically when you commit a change to your +local git repository using ``git commit -s``. diff --git a/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/1_How_to_add_documentation_to_AGL.md b/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/8_Adding_Documentation.md index ed7eb6d..b65e971 100644 --- a/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/1_How_to_add_documentation_to_AGL.md +++ b/docs/5_How_To_Contribute/8_Adding_Documentation.md @@ -2,15 +2,22 @@ title: Adding Documentation --- -The [documentation gerrit repository](https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/admin/repos/AGL/documentation) contains AGL documentation website template and content, rendering is visible at [https://docs-agl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/](https://docs-agl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
