@ -29,11 +29,36 @@ Thanks for wanting to contribute source code to Nextcloud. That's great!
|
|||
|
||||
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`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

# How to apply a license
|
||||
|
||||
Originally Nextcloud was licensed under the GNU AGPLv3 only. From
|
||||
June, 16 2016 on we switched to "GNU AGPLv3 or any later version" for
|
||||
better long-term maintainability and to make it more secure from a
|
||||
legal point of view.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally Nextcloud doesn't require a CLA (Contributor License
|
||||
Agreement). The copyright belongs to all the individual
|
||||
contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
If you modify an existing file, please keep the existing license header as
|
||||
it is and just add your copyright notice:
|
||||
|
||||
````
|
||||
@copyright Copyright (c) <year>, <your name> (<your email address>)
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
If you create a new file please use this license header:
|
||||
|
||||
````
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* @copyright Copyright (c) <year>, <your name> (<your email address>)
|
||||

|
||||
