# How to contribute
|
|
|
|
CakePHP loves to welcome your contributions. There are several ways to help out:
|
|
* Create an [issue](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues) on GitHub, if you have found a bug
|
|
* Write test cases for open bug issues
|
|
* Write patches for open bug/feature issues, preferably with test cases included
|
|
* Contribute to the [documentation](https://github.com/cakephp/docs)
|
|
|
|
There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we have a
|
|
chance of keeping on top of things.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
|
|
* Submit an [issue](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues), assuming one does not already exist.
|
|
* Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
|
|
* Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
|
|
* Fork the repository on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
## Making Changes
|
|
|
|
* Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
|
|
* This is usually the master branch.
|
|
* Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that
|
|
branch.
|
|
* To quickly create a topic branch based on master; `git branch
|
|
master/my_contribution master` then checkout the new branch with `git
|
|
checkout master/my_contribution`. Better avoid working directly on the
|
|
`master` branch, to avoid conflicts if you pull in updates from origin.
|
|
* Make commits of logical units.
|
|
* Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
|
|
* Use descriptive commit messages and reference the #issue number.
|
|
* Core test cases should continue to pass. You can run tests locally or enable
|
|
[travis-ci](https://travis-ci.org/) for your fork, so all tests and codesniffs
|
|
will be executed.
|
|
* Your work should apply the [CakePHP coding standards](http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/contributing/cakephp-coding-conventions.html).
|
|
|
|
## Which branch to base the work
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix branches will be based on master.
|
|
* New features that are backwards compatible will be based on next minor release
|
|
branch.
|
|
* New features or other non backwards compatible changes will go in the next major release branch.
|
|
|
|
## Submitting Changes
|
|
|
|
* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
|
|
* Submit a pull request to the repository in the cakephp organization, with the
|
|
correct target branch.
|
|
|
|
## Test cases and codesniffer
|
|
|
|
CakePHP tests requires [PHPUnit](http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html)
|
|
3.7, version 4 is not compatible. To run the test cases locally use the following command:
|
|
|
|
./lib/Cake/Console/cake test core AllTests --stderr
|
|
|
|
To run the sniffs for CakePHP coding standards:
|
|
|
|
phpcs -p --extensions=php --standard=CakePHP ./lib/Cake
|
|
|
|
Check the [cakephp-codesniffer](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer)
|
|
repository to setup the CakePHP standard. The [README](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer/blob/master/README.md) contains installation info
|
|
for the sniff and phpcs.
