If your issue has not been reported yet, then the issue should be opened using the following template ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
Any ideas, enhancements, feature requests are more than welcome. Feature requests should be opened by using the following template FEATURE_REQUEST.md
You have been working on Centreon base code and want to submit it to us. Well... Again you are more than welcome and thank you in advance ! 👏
The pull request must comply with certain requirements which are set out in the following template PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
Notice: A pull request which contains more than the described modifications or contains more than one issue will be rejected. Kindly write a detailed description and open one pull request per issue.
If the pull request matches the expected requirements, it will be added to a refinement session with the development team and the product owner. If everything is clear, the pull request will be integrated to the development workflow and will be merged if it successfully passes our Continuous Integration's acceptance tests. Afterwards, our Quality Assurance team will test it again to avoid any regressions before the pull request is released.
If the development team needs more details, they will contact you about the pull request. Please stay tuned.
Warning: Any pull request that does not respect the requirements will ultimately be rejected ! In addition, if you are asked to do so, you must help us understand your changes or behavior, and respond to us within 8 days.
Notice: We used another open source project's contribution model as inspiration to provide better communication on your pull request's status : Visual Studio Code.

The body section needs to be clear, made of complete sentences introducing the purpose of the commit and the context, making code reviews much easier.
The footer should contain reference(s) to the ticket(s) related to the commit. Applied to the sample ticket
Refs: #5567 (GitHub) or MON-2234 (Jira)
The type can refer to
- feat: adding a feature
- fix: adding a patch
- enh: adding an enhancement
- docs: adding documentation changes
- style: fixing coding style issues
- refactor: code refactoring
- test: adding new tests or fixing old ones
- chore : updating project construction files (Jenkins files, CMakefile, gulp, webpack ...)
The scope is defined by project. Scopes for Centreon Open Source project are related to the modifications. For example: fix(security) or feat(hostgroup)
Centreon software is made of several languages. For each language a specific coding style must be respected.
Notice: For some languages, a bot may ask you to rework the formatting of your code. Until you make the modifications, we won't be able to add your work to the refinement loop.
Since the 18.10 version of Centreon REACT has been introduced and Centreon follows the airbnb react coding style.
For other languages, coding style rules are defined in Centreon GitHub repository
