## How to Contribute
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure your change has an issue! Find an
|
|
[existing issue](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/) or [open a new issue](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/new).
|
|
* This is where you can get a feel if the change will be accepted or not.
|
|
2. Once approved, [fork the MeiliSearch repository](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo) in your own Github account.
|
|
3. [Create a new Git branch](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-and-deleting-branches-within-your-repository)
|
|
4. Review the [Development Workflow](#development-workflow) section that describes the steps to maintain the repository.
|
|
5. Make your changes on your branch.
|
|
6. [Submit the branch as a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) pointing to the `main` branch of the main MeiliSearch repository. A maintainer should comment and/or review your Pull Request within a few days. Although depending on the circumstances, it may take longer.
|
|
|
|
## Development Workflow
|
|
|
|
### Setup and run MeiliSearch
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We recommend using the `--release` flag to test the full performance of MeiliSearch.
|
|
|
|
### Test
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you get a "Too many open files" error you might want to increase the open file limit using this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ulimit -Sn 3000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Git Guidelines
|
|
|
|
### Git Branches
|
|
|
|
All changes must be made in a branch and submitted as PR.
|
|
|
|
We do not enforce any branch naming style, but please use something descriptive of your changes.
|
|
|
|
### Git Commits
|
|
|
|
As minimal requirements, your commit message should:
|
|
- be capitalized
|
|
- not finish by a dot or any other punctuation character (!,?)
|
|
- start with a verb so that we can read your commit message this way: "This commit will ...", where "..." is the commit message.
|
|
e.g.: "Fix the home page button" or "Add more tests for create_index method"
|
|
|
|
We don't follow any other convention, but if you want to use one, we recommend [this one](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
|
|
|
|
### Github Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
Some notes on GitHub PRs:
|
|
|
|
- All PRs must be reviewed and approved by at least one maintainer.
|
|
- The PR title should be accurate and descriptive of the changes.
|
|
- [Convert your PR as a draft](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if your changes are a work in progress: no one will review it until you pass your PR as ready for review.<br>
|
|
The draft PRs are recommended when you want to show that you are working on something and make your work visible.
|
|
- The branch related to the PR must be **up-to-date with `main`** before merging. Fortunately, this project uses [Bors](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng) to automatically enforce this requirement without the PR author having to rebase manually.
