Go to the [Linux Foundation ID website](https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/). - - 2. Select the option `I need to create a Linux Foundation ID`, and fill - out the form that appears. (It is advised to authenticate through email - instead of logging through Facebook/Google/Github.) - - 3. Wait a few minutes, then look for an email message with the subject - line: `Validate your Linux Foundation ID email`. - - 4. Open the received URL to validate your email address. - - 5.

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: -**Note:** This guide recommends using ed25519 keys because it has been found that this type works well across all operating systems. - - ```sh - $ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_name@example.com" - ``` - -**Note:** When you’re prompted to “Enter a file in which to save the key” press Enter. This accepts the default location. Next, it 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_ed25519`` and -``~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub``. - -Next, add the private key in the ``id_ed25519`` file to your key ring, e.g.: - - ```sh - $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 - ``` - -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_ed25519.pub`` and click - ``Add key``. - -**Note:** The ``id_ed25519.pub`` file can be opened with any text editor or you can run the command ``cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`` in your terminal and copy output. 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 with command ``touch ~/.ssh/config`` and add details in config file. - -``` -host gerrit.automotivelinux.org - HostName gerrit.automotivelinux.org - IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 - User <LFID> - Port 29418 -``` - -`<LFID>` is your Linux Foundation ID(username) 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**.

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.
