  1. # Contributing
  2. Thank you for your interest in contributing to Tendermint! Before
  3. contributing, it may be helpful to understand the goal of the project. The goal
  4. of Tendermint is to develop a BFT consensus engine robust enough to
  5. support permissionless value-carrying networks. While all contributions are
  6. welcome, contributors should bear this goal in mind in deciding if they should
  7. target the main Tendermint project or a potential fork. When targeting the
  8. main Tendermint project, the following process leads to the best chance of
  9. landing changes in master.
  10. All work on the code base should be motivated by a [Github
  11. Issue](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues).
  12. [Search](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22)
  13. is a good place start when looking for places to contribute. If you
  14. would like to work on an issue which already exists, please indicate so
  15. by leaving a comment.
  16. All new contributions should start with a [Github
  17. Issue](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/new/choose). The
  18. issue helps capture the problem you're trying to solve and allows for
  19. early feedback. Once the issue is created the process can proceed in different
  20. directions depending on how well defined the problem and potential
  21. solution are. If the change is simple and well understood, maintainers
  22. will indicate their support with a heartfelt emoji.
  23. If the issue would benefit from thorough discussion, maintainers may
  24. request that you create a [Request For
  25. Comment](https://github.com/tendermint/spec/tree/master/rfc). Discussion
  26. at the RFC stage will build collective understanding of the dimensions
  27. of the problems and help structure conversations around trade-offs.
  28. When the problem is well understood but the solution leads to large
  29. structural changes to the code base, these changes should be proposed in
  30. the form of an [Architectural Decision Record
  31. (ADR)](./docs/architecture/). The ADR will help build consensus on an
  32. overall strategy to ensure the code base maintains coherence
  33. in the larger context. If you are not comfortable with writing an ADR,
  34. you can open a less-formal issue and the maintainers will help you
  35. turn it into an ADR. ADR numbers can be registered [here](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/2313).
  36. When the problem as well as proposed solution are well understood,
  37. changes should start with a [draft
  38. pull request](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/)
  39. against master. The draft signals that work is underway. When the work
  40. is ready for feedback, hitting "Ready for Review" will signal to the
  41. maintainers to take a look.
  42. ![Contributing flow](./docs/imgs/contributing.png)
  43. Each stage of the process is aimed at creating feedback cycles which align contributors and maintainers to make sure:
  44. - Contributors don’t waste their time implementing/proposing features which won’t land in master.
  45. - Maintainers have the necessary context in order to support and review contributions.
  46. ## Forking
  47. Please note that Go requires code to live under absolute paths, which complicates forking.
  48. While my fork lives at `https://github.com/ebuchman/tendermint`,
  49. the code should never exist at `$GOPATH/src/github.com/ebuchman/tendermint`.
  50. Instead, we use `git remote` to add the fork as a new remote for the original repo,
  51. `$GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint`, and do all the work there.
  52. For instance, to create a fork and work on a branch of it, I would:
  53. - Create the fork on GitHub, using the fork button.
  54. - Go to the original repo checked out locally (i.e. `$GOPATH/src/github.com/tendermint/tendermint`)
  55. - `git remote rename origin upstream`
  56. - `git remote add origin git@github.com:ebuchman/basecoin.git`
  57. Now `origin` refers to my fork and `upstream` refers to the Tendermint version.
  58. So I can `git push -u origin master` to update my fork, and make pull requests to tendermint from there.
  59. Of course, replace `ebuchman` with your git handle.
  60. To pull in updates from the origin repo, run
  61. - `git fetch upstream`
  62. - `git rebase upstream/master` (or whatever branch you want)
  63. ## Dependencies
  64. We use [go modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) to manage dependencies.
  65. That said, the master branch of every Tendermint repository should just build
  66. with `go get`, which means they should be kept up-to-date with their
  67. dependencies so we can get away with telling people they can just `go get` our
  68. software.
  69. Since some dependencies are not under our control, a third party may break our
  70. build, in which case we can fall back on `go mod tidy`. Even for dependencies under our control, go helps us to
  71. keep multiple repos in sync as they evolve. Anything with an executable, such
  72. as apps, tools, and the core, should use dep.
  73. Run `go list -u -m all` to get a list of dependencies that may not be
  74. up-to-date.
  75. When updating dependencies, please only update the particular dependencies you
  76. need. Instead of running `go get -u=patch`, which will update anything,
  77. specify exactly the dependency you want to update, eg.
  78. `GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/tendermint/go-amino@master`.
  79. ## Protobuf
  80. We use [Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers) along with [gogoproto](https://github.com/gogo/protobuf) to generate code for use across Tendermint Core.
  81. For linting and checking breaking changes, we use [buf](https://buf.build/). If you would like to run linting and check if the changes you have made are breaking then you will need to have docker running locally. Then the linting cmd will be `make proto-lint` and the breaking changes check will be `make proto-check-breaking`.
  82. There are two ways to generate your proto stubs.
  83. 1. Use Docker, pull an image that will generate your proto stubs with no need to install anything. `make proto-gen-docker`
  84. 2. Run `make proto-gen` after installing `protoc` and gogoproto.
  85. ### Installation Instructions
  86. To install `protoc`, download an appropriate release (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf) and then move the provided binaries into your PATH (follow instructions in README included with the download).
  87. To install `gogoproto`, do the following:
  88. ```sh
  89. $ go get github.com/gogo/protobuf/gogoproto
  90. $ cd $GOPATH/pkg/mod/github.com/gogo/protobuf@v1.3.1 # or wherever go get installs things
  91. $ make install
  92. ```
  93. You should now be able to run `make proto-gen` from inside the root Tendermint directory to generate new files from proto files.
  94. ## Vagrant
  95. If you are a [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) user, you can get started
  96. hacking Tendermint with the commands below.
  97. NOTE: In case you installed Vagrant in 2017, you might need to run
  98. `vagrant box update` to upgrade to the latest `ubuntu/xenial64`.
  99. ```
  100. vagrant up
  101. vagrant ssh
  102. make test
  103. ```
  104. ## Changelog
  105. Every fix, improvement, feature, or breaking change should be made in a
  106. pull-request that includes an update to the `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md` file.
  107. Changelog entries should be formatted as follows:
  108. ```
  109. - [module] \#xxx Some description about the change (@contributor)
  110. ```
  111. Here, `module` is the part of the code that changed (typically a
  112. top-level Go package), `xxx` is the pull-request number, and `contributor`
  113. is the author/s of the change.
  114. It's also acceptable for `xxx` to refer to the relevent issue number, but pull-request
  115. numbers are preferred.
  116. Note this means pull-requests should be opened first so the changelog can then
  117. be updated with the pull-request's number.
  118. There is no need to include the full link, as this will be added
  119. automatically during release. But please include the backslash and pound, eg. `\#2313`.
  120. Changelog entries should be ordered alphabetically according to the
  121. `module`, and numerically according to the pull-request number.
  122. Changes with multiple classifications should be doubly included (eg. a bug fix
  123. that is also a breaking change should be recorded under both).
  124. Breaking changes are further subdivided according to the APIs/users they impact.
  125. Any change that effects multiple APIs/users should be recorded multiply - for
  126. instance, a change to the `Blockchain Protocol` that removes a field from the
  127. header should also be recorded under `CLI/RPC/Config` since the field will be
  128. removed from the header in rpc responses as well.
  129. ## Branching Model and Release
  130. The main development branch is master.
  131. Every release is maintained in a release branch named `vX.Y.Z`.
  132. Pending minor releases have long-lived release candidate ("RC") branches. Minor release changes should be merged to these long-lived RC branches at the same time that the changes are merged to master.
  133. Note all pull requests should be squash merged except for merging to a release branch (named `vX.Y`). This keeps the commit history clean and makes it
  134. easy to reference the pull request where a change was introduced.
  135. ### Development Procedure
  136. The latest state of development is on `master`, which must never fail `make test`. _Never_ force push `master`, unless fixing broken git history (which we rarely do anyways).
  137. To begin contributing, create a development branch either on github.com/tendermint/tendermint, or your fork (using `git remote add origin`).
  138. Make changes, and before submitting a pull request, update the `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md` to record your change. Also, run either `git rebase` or `git merge` on top of the latest `master`. (Since pull requests are squash-merged, either is fine!)
  139. Once you have submitted a pull request label the pull request with either `R:minor`, if the change should be included in the next minor release, or `R:major`, if the change is meant for a major release.
  140. Sometimes (often!) pull requests get out-of-date with master, as other people merge different pull requests to master. It is our convention that pull request authors are responsible for updating their branches with master. (This also means that you shouldn't update someone else's branch for them; even if it seems like you're doing them a favor, you may be interfering with their git flow in some way!)
  141. #### Merging Pull Requests
  142. It is also our convention that authors merge their own pull requests, when possible. External contributors may not have the necessary permissions to do this, in which case, a member of the core team will merge the pull request once it's been approved.
  143. Before merging a pull request:
  144. - Ensure pull branch is up-to-date with a recent `master` (GitHub won't let you merge without this!)
  145. - Run `make test` to ensure that all tests pass
  146. - [Squash](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5189560/squash-my-last-x-commits-together-using-git) merge pull request
  147. #### Pull Requests for Minor Releases
  148. If your change should be included in a minor release, please also open a PR against the long-lived minor release candidate branch (e.g., `rc1/v0.33.5`) _immediately after your change has been merged to master_.
  149. You can do this by cherry-picking your commit off master:
  150. ```
  151. $ git checkout rc1/v0.33.5
  152. $ git checkout -b {new branch name}
  153. $ git cherry-pick {commit SHA from master}
  154. # may need to fix conflicts, and then use git add and git cherry-pick --continue
  155. $ git push origin {new branch name}
  156. ```
  157. After this, you can open a PR. Please note in the PR body if there were merge conflicts so that reviewers can be sure to take a thorough look.
  158. ### Git Commit Style
  159. We follow the [Go style guide on commit messages](https://tip.golang.org/doc/contribute.html#commit_messages). Write concise commits that start with the package name and have a description that finishes the sentence "This change modifies Tendermint to...". For example,
  160. ```
  161. cmd/debug: execute p.Signal only when p is not nil
  162. [potentially longer description in the body]
  163. Fixes #nnnn
  164. ```
  165. Each PR should have one commit once it lands on `master`; this can be accomplished by using the "squash and merge" button on Github. Be sure to edit your commit message, though!
  166. ### Release Procedure
  167. #### Major Release
  168. 1. start on `master`
  169. 2. run integration tests (see `test_integrations` in Makefile)
  170. 3. prepare release in a pull request against `master` (to be squash merged):
  171. - copy `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md` to top of `CHANGELOG.md`
  172. - run `python ./scripts/linkify_changelog.py CHANGELOG.md` to add links for
  173. all issues
  174. - run `bash ./scripts/authors.sh` to get a list of authors since the latest
  175. release, and add the github aliases of external contributors to the top of
  176. the changelog. To lookup an alias from an email, try `bash ./scripts/authors.sh <email>`
  177. - reset the `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md`
  178. - bump the appropriate versions in `version.go`
  179. 4. push your changes with prepared release details to `vX.X` (this will trigger the release `vX.X.0`)
  180. 5. merge back to master (don't squash merge!)
  181. #### Minor Release
  182. Minor releases are done differently from major releases: They are built off of long-lived release candidate branches, rather than from master.
  183. 1. Checkout the long-lived release candidate branch: `git checkout rcX/vX.X.X`
  184. 2. Run integration tests: `make test_integrations`
  185. 3. Prepare the release:
  186. - Copy `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md` to top of `CHANGELOG.md`
  187. - Run `python ./scripts/linkify_changelog.py CHANGELOG.md` to add links for all issues
  188. - Run `bash ./scripts/authors.sh` to get a list of authors since the latest release, and add the GitHub aliases of external contributors to the top of the CHANGELOG. To lookup an alias from an email, try `bash ./scripts/authors.sh <email>`
  189. - Reset the `CHANGELOG_PENDING.md`
  190. - Bump the appropriate versions in `version.go`
  191. 5. Create a release branch `release/vX.X.x` off the release candidate branch:
  192. - `git checkout -b release/vX.X.x`
  193. - `git push -u origin release/vX.X.x`
  194. - Note that all branches prefixed with `release` are protected once pushed. You will need admin help to make any changes to the branch.
  195. 6. Open a pull request of the new minor release branch onto the latest major release branch `vX.X` and then rebase to merge. This will start the release process.
  196. 7. Create a pull request back to master with the CHANGELOG & version changes from the latest release.
  197. - Remove all `R:minor` labels from the pull requests that were included in the release.
  198. - Do not merge the release branch into master.
  199. #### Backport Release
  200. 1. start from the existing release branch you want to backport changes to (e.g. v0.30)
  201. Branch to a release/vX.X.X branch locally (e.g. release/v0.30.7)
  202. 2. cherry pick the commit(s) that contain the changes you want to backport (usually these commits are from squash-merged PRs which were already reviewed)
  203. 3. steps 2 and 3 from [Major Release](#major-release)
  204. 4. push changes to release/vX.X.X branch
  205. 5. open a PR against the existing vX.X branch
  206. ## Testing
  207. All repos should be hooked up to [CircleCI](https://circleci.com/).
  208. If they have `.go` files in the root directory, they will be automatically
  209. tested by circle using `go test -v -race ./...`. If not, they will need a
  210. `circle.yml`. Ideally, every repo has a `Makefile` that defines `make test` and
  211. includes its continuous integration status using a badge in the `README.md`.
  212. ### RPC Testing
  213. If you contribute to the RPC endpoints it's important to document your changes in the [Swagger file](./rpc/swagger/swagger.yaml)
  214. To test your changes you should install `nodejs` and run:
  215. ```bash
  216. npm i -g dredd
  217. make build-linux build-contract-tests-hooks
  218. make contract-tests
  219. ```
  220. This command will popup a network and check every endpoint against what has been documented
