Contribution Guidelines

IPFS Cluster adopts the existing guidelines in the IPFS community:

Code contribution guidelines

In practice, these are our soft standards:

  • IPFS Cluster uses the Apache2/MIT dual license.
  • All contributions are via Pull Request, which needs a Code Review approval from one of the project collaborators.
  • Tests must pass (although sometimes it takes several runs)
  • Code coverage must be stable or increase
  • We prefer meaningful branch names: feat/999-adding-this, fix/392-error-doing-this… preferably with an issue number in them as well.
  • We prefer commit messages which reference an issue fix #999: ...

These are just guidelines. We are friendly people and are happy to help :)
