Overview

RabbitMQ projects use pull requests to discuss, collaborate on and accept code contributions. Pull requests is the primary place of discussing code changes.

How to Contribute

The process is fairly standard:

  • Fork the repository or repositories you plan on contributing to
  • Clone it
  • Create a branch with a descriptive name in the relevant repositories
  • Make your changes, run tests, commit with a descriptive message, push to your fork
  • Submit pull requests with an explanation what has been changed and why
  • Submit a filled out and signed Contributor Agreement if needed (see below)
  • Be patient. We will get to your pull request eventually

If what you are going to work on is a substantial change, please first ask the core team of their opinion on RabbitMQ mailing list.

(Brief) Code of Conduct

In one line: don't be a dick.

Be respectful to the maintainers and other contributors. Open source contributors put long hours into developing projects and doing user support. Those projects and user support are available for free. We believe this deserves some respect.

Be respectful to people of all races, genders, religious beliefs and political views. Regardless of how brilliant a pull request is technically, we will not tolerate disrespectful or aggressive behaviour.

Contributors who violate this straightforward Code of Conduct will see their pull requests closed and locked.

Contributor Agreement

If you want to contribute a non-trivial change, please submit a signed copy of our Contributor Agreement around the time you submit your pull request. This will make it much easier (in some cases, possible) for the RabbitMQ team at Pivotal to merge your contribution.

Where to Ask Questions

If something isn't clear, feel free to ask on our mailing list.
