Pull Request guidelines are in place in order to maintain consistency and clearly communicate our process for processing merges into the master branch.

Overview

  • Ensure the Allow edits by maintainers checkbox is checked due to our Squash Merge policy
  • Ensure you avoid a force push due to our Squash Merge policy and Review complications

Squash Merge

Every Pull Request will be squash merged into master. This requires the Pull Request branch to be up-to-date with the master branch.

Review

Every Pull Request will undergo a formal review process. This process is heavily complicated if you rewrite history and/or perform a force push, especially after a maintainer has started a review. As such we request that any action that you merge origin/master into your branch to synchronize your commit after the initial review and any other action that rewrites history.

Requirements

The following requirements must be met for a pull request to be accepted. This list also acts as a checklist for maintainers in their review process.

  • The changes must be documented if they add or change behaviour
  • The changes must meet the following guidelines:
  • The changes adhere to all of the relevant linting and quality testing automations
  • The pull request closes related issues by mentioning them appropriately
  • The contribution adhere to the security by design principles by:
    • Setting secure defaults
    • Disallows critically insecure settings
    • Requires explicit awareness by users that specific settings may reduce security
  • Potential future items:
    • Contribution includes DCO
    • Contribution includes REUSE-compliance requirements
