* Please search the existing issues first, it's likely that your issue was already reported or even fixed.
- Go to one of the repositories, click "issues" and type any word in the top search/command bar.
- You can also filter by appending e. g. "state:open" to the search string.

## Contributing to Source Code
2016-06-12 10:47:50 +03:00

2013-01-11 21:57:56 +04:00
Please read the [Developer Manuals][devmanual] to learn how to create your first application or how to test the Nextcloud code with PHPUnit.

### Tests
In order to constantly increase the quality of our software we can no longer accept pull request which submit un-tested code.
It is a must have that changed and added code segments are unit tested.
In some areas unit testing is hard (aka almost impossible) as of today - in these areas refactoring WHILE fixing a bug is encouraged to enable unit testing.
### Sign your work
We use the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) as a additional safeguard
for the Nextcloud project. This is a well established and widely used
mechanism to assure contributors have confirmed their right to license
their contribution under the project's license.
Please read [contribute/developer-certificate-of-origin][dcofile].
If you can certify it, then just add a line to every git commit message:
````
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
````
Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions).
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your
commit automatically with `git commit -s`. You can also use git [aliases](https://git-scm.com/book/tr/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases)
like `git config --global alias.ci 'commit -s'`. Now you can commit with
`git ci` and the commit will be signed.
### Apply a license
In case you are not sure how to add or update the license header correctly please have a look at [contribute/HowToApplyALicense.md][applyalicense]
