How to integrate external contribution
New external contributions are starting. Here is the current team workflow defined on how to integrate them:
- Review the diff and explain what's need adapting
- Accept the diff if ready. We should only be able to accept it if the contributor has already
signed the CLA
- Integrate the patch using arcanist:
cd /path/to/<repository-concerned-by-diff> PATCH_NAME=<patch-name> # use the right patch name D301 for example CONTRIBUTOR_NAME="<contributor-name>" # use the right contributor's full name arc patch $PATCH_NAME # this will create a local commit amend the commit message if # necessary (added a `Close <concerned-task> for example) echo $CONTRIBUTOR_NAME >> CONTRIBUTORS git add CONTRIBUTORS git commit -m 'Update contributors file' git checkout master BRANCH_TO_MERGE="arcpatch-$PATCH_NAME" git merge $BRANCH_TO_MERGE git branch -d $BRANCH_TO_MERGE git push
