Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, +collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. +Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any +potential bug as fast as possible. + +- Make sure that you are using the latest version. +- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side + e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure + that you have read the [documentation](/phundrak/jj-cz/wiki). If you + are looking for support, you might want to check [this + section](#i-have-a-question)). +- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already + solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already + a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug + tracker](/phundrak/jj-cz/issues?q=label%3Abug). +- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to + see if users outside of the PhundrakLabs community have discussed + the issue. +- Collect information about the bug: + - Stack trace (Traceback) + - OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM) + - Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, + package manager, depending on what seems relevant. + - Possibly your input and the output + - Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce + it with older versions? + + +#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report? + +> You must never report security related issues, vulnerabilities or +> bugs including sensitive information to the issue tracker, or +> elsewhere in public. Instead sensitive bugs must be sent by email to +> . + +We use PhundrakLabs issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into +an issue with the project: + +- Open an [issue](/phundrak/jj-cz/issues/new) (Since we can't be sure at + this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about + a bug yet and not to label the issue.) +- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior. +- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the + *reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to recreate the + issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug + reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test + case. +- Provide the information you collected in the previous section. + +Once it's filed: + +- The project team will label the issue accordingly. +- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided + steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to + reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark + the issue as `Status/Need More Info`. Bugs with the `Status/Need + More Info` tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced. +- If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked + `Reviewed/Confirmed`, as well as possibly other tags (such as + `Priority/Medium`), and the issue will be left to be [implemented by + someone](#your-first-code-contribution). + +### Suggesting Enhancements + +This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion +for jj-cz **including completely new features and minor improvements to +existing functionality**. Following these guidelines will help +maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find +related suggestions. + + +#### Before Submitting an Enhancement + +- Make sure that you are using the latest version. +- Read the [documentation](/phundrak/jj-cz/wiki) carefully and find out + if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual + configuration. +- Perform a [search](/phundrak/jj-cz/issues) to see if the enhancement + has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing + issue instead of opening a new one. +- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the + project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the + project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind + that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our + users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a + minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library. + + +#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion? + +Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [Gitea +issues](/phundrak/jj-cz/issues). + +- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the + suggestion. +- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement** + in as many details as possible. +- **Describe the current behavior** and **explain which behavior you + expected to see instead** and why. At this point you can also tell + which alternatives do not work for you. +- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most + jj-cz users. You may also want to point out the other + projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration. + +### Your First Code Contribution +#### Setting Up Your Development Environment +Code contributions are most welcome! To contribute to the project, you +will need to read the README and install the +[prerequisites](/phundrak/jj-cz#prerequisites). + +You can use the IDE of your choice, popular options for Rust projects +are [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) or +[RustRover](https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/), but plenty of other code +editors are available such as: +- Emacs (we recommend [rustic](https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic) + over plain [rust-mode](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-mode)) +- [Vim/NeoVim](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust.vim) +- [Sublime Text](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-enhanced) +- [Helix](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/manual.html#helix) +- [Visual Studio](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/manual.html#visual-studio-2022) +- [Eclipse](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.corrosion) +- And plenty other text editors! + +Depending on your choice, you may need to install an LSP server and an +LSP client on your text editor, such as with Emacs and Vim/NeoVim. + +#### Where Should You Start? +If you want to participate to jj-cz but you’re not sure what to do, take +a look at the [opened issues](/phundrak/jj-cz/issues). You may find +issues with the `help wanted` tag where you could weigh in for the +resolution of the issue or for decision-making. You may also find +issues tagged as `good first issue` which should be relatively +approachable for first time contributors. + +#### Writing Your First Code Contribution +Take your time when reading the code. The existing documentation can +help you better understand how the project is built and how the code +behaves. If you still have some questions, don’t hesitate to reach out +to maintainers. + +When you start writing your code, only modify what needs to be +modified. Each contribution should do one thing and one thing only. Do +not, for instance, refactor some code that is unrelated to the main +topic of your contribution. + +Check often the output of clippy by running `just lint`, and check if +existing tests still pass with `just test`. This project follows +Test-Driven Development (TDD), see [the TDD +section](#test-driven-development). + +Check also that your code is properly formatted with +`just format-check`. You can format it automatically with +`just format`. + +Finally, check the code coverage of jj-cz. Ideally, try to stay within +the initial percentage of code coverage of the project, and try to +stay above 75% of code coverage. If it drops below 60%, your +contribution will be rejected automatically until you add more test +covering more code. + +For writing tests, don’t hesitate to take a look at existing tests. + +#### Test-Driven Development + +This project follows strict Test-Driven Development (TDD). TDD is +**mandatory** for all code contributions, with few exceptions with +maintainers’ approval. + +**The TDD Cycle**: +1. **Red**: Write failing tests that describe the intended behaviour; +2. **Green**: Implement the minimal code to pass these tests; +3. **Refactor**: Improve the code while keeping tests green. + +**Test Type Required:** +- **Unit tests** for domain logic (fast, isolated) +- **Integration tests** for infrastructure adapters +- **Contract tests** for API endpoints + +**Before Implementation:** +- Your tests must compile and fail for the right reasons +- Maintainers may review your test scenarios before you proceed with + implementation to ensure they capture the intended behaviour. + +Do not write implementation code before you have failing tests that +validate the expected behaviour. Pull requests with untested code or +tests written after implementation will require revision. + +### Improving the Documentation + +To improve the documentation of jj-cz you have two choices: +- Improve the [wiki](/phundrak/jj-cz/wiki) of the project with + high-level, functional documentation +- Improve the code documentation by adding some + [rustdoc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/how-to-write-documentation.html) + within the code. You can also take the opportunity to add new tests + through code examples in the rustdoc; who knows, maybe you will + discover a bug writing these tests, which will help improve the code + itself! + +## New Pull Requests +### Commit Messages + +When creating a new commit, try to follow as closely as possible the +[Conventional Commits 1.0.0](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) +standard. Each line should not exceed 72 characters in length. Commits +shall also be written in the present tense. Use the imperative mood as +much as possible when explaining what this commit does. + +> Instead of *Fixed #42* or *Fixes #42*, write *Fix #42* + +**DO NOT** increase the project version yourself. This will be up for +the maintainers to do so. + +You may also use jj-cz to write your commit messages if you use +jujutsu as your VCS! + +### Creating the Pull Request +Submit your pull requests to the `develop` branch. Pull requests to +other branches will be refused, unless there is a very specific reason +to do so explained in the pull request. + +Note: *PR* means *Pull Request*. + +**All PRs** must: +- Branch from `develop` +- Target the `develop` branch, unless specific cases. Maintainers are + the only contributors that can create a PR targeting `main` +- Live on their own branch, prefixed by `feature/` or `fix/` (other + prefixes can be accepted in specific cases) with the name of the + feature or the issue fixed in `kebab-case` +- Be rebased on `develop` if the PR is no longer up to date +- Pass the CI pipeline (a failed CI pipeline will prevent any merge) + +PRs coming from a `main`, `master`, `develop`, `release/`, `hotfix/`, +or `support/` branch will be rejected. PRs not up to date with +`develop` will not be merged. + +**Simple PRs** shall: +- Have only one topic +- Have only one commit +- Have all their commits squashed into one if it contains several + commits + +If you open a PR whose scope are multiple topics, it will be rejected. +Open as many PRs as necessary, one for each topic. + +**Complex PRs** shall: +- squash uninteresting commits (fixes to earlier commits, typos, + syntax, etc…) together +- keep the major steps into individual commits + + +## Attribution +This guide is based on +[**contributing-gen**](https://github.com/bttger/contributing-gen). +The Pull Request part is heavily based on the corresponding part of +Spacemacs’ +[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.org#pull-request). +The AI usage policy is heavily based on llama.cpp’s +[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
