github.com/google/cloudprober@v0.11.3/CONTRIBUTING.md (about) 1 # How to Contribute 2 3 We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are 4 just a few small guidelines you need to follow. 5 6 ## Contributor License Agreement 7 8 Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License 9 Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution, 10 this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as 11 part of the project. Head over to <https://cla.developers.google.com/> to see 12 your current agreements on file or to sign a new one. 13 14 You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted one 15 (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it 16 again. 17 18 ## Code reviews 19 20 All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We 21 use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult [GitHub 22 Help](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) for more 23 information on using pull requests. 24 25 ## Source of Truth (SoT) and Commit Process 26 27 Cloudprober's source of truth is Google's internal copy of the code for various 28 reasons. To keep it that way, we first import the proposed pull request into 29 the internal copy of the code, get it reviewed internally, and then export it 30 back to Github. As a result of this, original PR is eventually discarded and a 31 new PR is merged into the master branch. All through this process, author 32 attribution is not lost. Final change will still appear to be done by you.
