# Develop OpenProject We are pleased that you are thinking about contributing to OpenProject! This guide details how to contribute to OpenProject in a way that is efficient and fun for everyone. ## Get in touch Please get in touch with us using our [develompment forum](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/boards/7) or send us an email to info@openproject.org. ## Issue tracking and coordination We eat our own ice cream so we use OpenProject for roadmap planning and team collaboration. Please have a look at the following pages: - [Development timeline](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/timelines/36) - [Product roadmap and release planning](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/roadmap) - [Wish list](https://community.openproject.com/versions/26) - [Bug backlog](https://community.openproject.com/versions/136) - [Report a bug](https://www.openproject.org/development/report-a-bug/) - [Submit a feature idea](https://www.openproject.org/development/submit-feature-idea/) ## Branching model The main development branch for upcoming releases is `dev`. If in doubt, create your pull request against `dev`. All new features, gem updates and bugfixes for the upcoming release should go into the `dev` branch. ## Development flow For contributing source code, please follow the git workflow below: - **Fork** OpenProject on GitHub - Clone your fork to your development machine: ``` git clone git@github.com//openproject ``` - Optional: Add the original OpenProject repository as a remote, so you can fetch changes: ``` git remote add upstream git@github.com:opf/openproject ``` - Make sure you're on the right branch. The main development branch is `dev`: ``` git checkout dev ``` - Create a feature branch: ``` git checkout -b feature/ ``` - Make your changes, then push the branch into your ***own*** repository: ``` git push origin ``` - Create a pull request against a branch of of the repository, containing a ***clear description*** of what the pull request attempts to change and/or fix. If your pull request **does not contain a description** for what it does and what it's intentions are, we will reject it. If you are working on a specific work package from the [list](https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/work_packages), you may include a link to that work package in the description, so we can track your work. The core contributor team will then review your pull request according to our [code review guideline](https://www.openproject.org/open-source/development-free-project-management-software/code-review-guideliness/). Please note that you can add commits after the pull request has been created by pushing to the branch in your fork. ## Translations If you want to contribute to the localization of OpenProject and its plugins you can do so on [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/projects/opf). Once a day we fetch those locales and upload them to GitHub. More on this topic can be found in our [blog post](https://www.openproject.org/help-translate-openproject-into-your-language/). ## Testing Please add tests to your code to verify functionality, especially if it is a new feature. Pull requests will be verified by TravisCI as well, but please run them locally as well and make sure they are green before creating your pull request. We have a lot of pull requests coming in and it takes some time to run the complete suite for each one. If you push to your branch in quick sucession, please consider stopping the associated Travis builds, as Travis will run for each commit. This is especially true if you force push to the branch. Please also use `[ci skip]` in your commit message to suppress builds which are not necessary (e.g. after fixing a typo in the `README`). ## Bugs and hotfixes Bugfixes for one of the actively supported versions of OpenProject should be issued against the respective branch. A fix for the current version (called "Hotfix" and the branch ideally being named `hotfix/XYZ`) should target `release/*` and a fix for the former version (called "Backport" and the branch ideally being named `backport/XYZ`) should target `backport/*`. We will try to merge hotfixes into dev branch but if that is no trivial task, we might ask you to create another PR for that. ## Inactive pull requests We want to keep the Pull request list as cleaned up as possible - we will aim close pull requests after an **inactivity period of 30 days** (no comments, no further pushes) which are not labelled as `work in progress` by us. ## Security If you notice a security issue in OpenProject, please send us a gpg encrypted email to security@openproject.org and describe the issue you found. Download our public gpg key [here](https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7D669C6D47533958). Please include a description on how to reproduce the issue if possible. Our security team will get your email and will attempt to reproduce and fix the issue as soon as possible. ## Accessibility For our impaired users please have a look at our [accessibility-checklist](https://www.openproject.org/help/develope-openproject/accessibility-checklist). ## Contributor code of conduct As contributors and maintainers of this project, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
