Contributing to Compose
Compose is a part of the Docker project, and follows the same rules and principles. Take a read of Docker's contributing guidelines to get an overview.
TL;DR
Pull requests will need:
- Tests
- Documentation
- To be signed off
- A logical series of well written commits
Development environment
If you're looking contribute to Compose but you're new to the project or maybe even to Python, here are the steps that should get you started.
- Fork https://github.com/docker/compose to your username.
- Clone your forked repository locally
git clone git@github.com:yourusername/compose.git
. - Enter the local directory
cd compose
. - Set up a development environment by running
python setup.py develop
. This will install the dependencies and set up a symlink from yourdocker-compose
executable to the checkout of the repository. When you now rundocker-compose
from anywhere on your machine, it will run your development version of Compose.
