This project will be managed with the same workflow as the rest or Sourcehut's projects: using patches and emails.
Therefore, in order to contribute to the project, you must setup git to send
patches to the mailists. Also you must setup your email client to send emails to
the mailist.
Please read this first to start contributing to the Husky project.
Emails will be only admited if sent as plain text. Use english and capitalize your email properly.
Please follow the recommendations at useplaintext.email.
It is encouraged to wrap emails at 72 chars (see Wrapping your text at useplaintext.email/#etiquette).
HTML emails and emails containing media attached are automatically rejected and do not even reach the mailist. If you need to attach any media files to the email, please upload those files to an external service and add the link(s).
If this is your first time sending patches, I cannot recommend enough git-send-email.io to learn how to send patches using git + email.
After following the tutorial you will have a basic setup, which is enough to contribute to the project.
However, there are a requirement for patches being acepted: setting up the
subject prefix of the email. This is made using this for each repository (so the
configuration is local and not every email is sent with PATCH foorbar).
For each project you must execute this:
git config format.subjectPrefix "PATCH <repository_name>"
Where <repository_name> is the name of the repository you are working on.
For example, if you want to contribute to the application (its repository is
named husky), first you have to execute inside your local copy:
git config format.subjectPrefix "PATCH husky"
And then you can send all the patches you want.
Patches sent without this will be automatically rejected.
Husky has an issue tracker to keep pending tasks and reported bugs to be fixed. You can take a look going to todo.
Before sending any email is encouraged to take a look first here in case your request (whether it's a feature request or a bug report) is already here.
If not, feel free to send an email!
The project has two main mailists.
If you are not a Sourcehut user, please follow lists.sr.ht email control doc. to subscribe to the mailists.
This list will be used for open discussion about features requests, bug reports and patches.
Anyone can send an email to this mailist. The discussions aim to be serious. Please restrain from sending spam or off-topic emails, or any email about any other topic not related to the project.
You can access to the list at lists.sr.ht/~captainepoch/husky-devel.
Patches must contain a brief comment about what they do.
This list will be only to announce releases of the project or important news. It will not be open to the public to send any emails. However, if you are a user of the application, I recommend you to subscribe, even if you are not a Sourcehut user.
You can access to the list at lists.sr.ht/~captainepoch/husky-announce.
If you find any security issues in Husky, please send an email to me
(epoch (at) nixnetmail (dot) com), providing as much information
and context as possible (maybe the
bug reporting email template can be of help here).
After the fix is pushed into the repository, a version will be released and an
email will be sent explaining the bug and the fix to the husky-announce
mailist.
If you happen to know how to fix the issue, patches are welcome!
Please check Reporting bugs.
