Workflow for crowd-notes contributors

Prepare your development environment

1. Fork the crowd-notes repository on GitHub and clone your fork to your development environment

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME/crowd-notes.git

2. Add the main crowd-notes repository as an additional git remote called "upstream"

git remote add upstream https://github.com/leoshtika/crowd-notes.git

3. Install dependencies (assuming you have composer installed globally)

composer install

Note: If you see errors like Problem 1 The requested package bower-asset/jquery could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name, you will need to run:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0.3"

4. Initialize the application

Run the php init file with this command:

php init

You will be asked to chose environment. Chose Development (type "0" and press enter)

5. Create a new database

Create a new database (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL or other) and run the following SQL query

@TODO: Create a migration

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `item` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `note_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `text` text NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `note_id` (`note_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;


ALTER TABLE `item`
  ADD CONSTRAINT `item_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`note_id`) REFERENCES `note` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;

ALTER TABLE `note`
  ADD CONSTRAINT `note_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;

Configure the database connection via the dsn component property in common/config/main-local.php file

Working on bugs and features

Having prepared your develop environment as explained above you can now start working on the feature or bugfix.

1. Make sure there is an issue created for the thing you are working on if it requires significant effort to fix

All new features and bug fixes should have an associated issue to provide a single point of reference for discussion and documentation. If you do not find an existing issue matching what you intend to work on, please open a new issue or create a pull request directly if it is straightforward fix.

2. Fetch the latest code from the main crowd-notes branch

You should start at this point for every new contribution to make sure you are working on the latest code.

git checkout master
git pull upstream master

3. Create a new branch for your feature based on the current crowd-notes master branch

Each separate bug fix or change should go in its own branch. Branch names should be descriptive and start with the number of the issue that your code relates to. If you aren't fixing any particular issue, just skip number. For example:

git checkout -b 999-name-of-your-branch

4. Do your magic, write your code

All new code should follow PSR-2 coding standard. Make sure it works :)

5. Commit your changes

git add --all
git commit -m "Resolve #999: A brief description of this change"

6. Pull the latest code from upstream, rebase & squash your changes

Before pushing your code to GitHub make sure to integrate upstream changes into your local repository

git checkout master
git pull upstream master
git checkout 999-name-of-your-branch
git rebase master

This ensures that your changes can be merged with one click.

Squash commits This step is not always necessary, but is required when your commit history is full of small, unimportant commits.

git rebase -i master

7. Push your code to GitHub

git push -u origin 999-name-of-your-branch

8. Open a pull request against upstream

Go to your repository on GitHub and click "Pull Request", choose your branch on the right and enter some more details in the comment box. To link the pull request to the issue put anywhere in the pull comment #999 where 999 is the issue number. Note that each pull-request should fix a single change.

9. Someone will review your code

Someone will review your code, and you might be asked to make some changes, if so go to step #5 (you don't need to open another pull request if your current one is still open). If your code is accepted it will be merged into the main branch and become part of the next release.

10. Cleaning it up

After your code was either accepted or declined you can delete branches you've worked with from your local repository and origin.

git checkout master
git branch -D 999-name-of-your-branch
git push origin --delete 999-name-of-your-branch
