Contributing a patch
--------------------

The Mosquitto repositories are accessed through Gerrit, the code review
project, which makes it possible for anybody to clone the repository, make
changes and push them back for review and eventual acceptance into the project.

To do this, you must follow a few steps. The first of these are described at

- <https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Contributing_via_Git>
Please read the [Eclipse Foundation policy on accepting contributions via Git](http:https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Contributing_via_Git).

* Sign the Eclipse CLA
* Use a valid commit record, including a signed-off-by entry.
1. Sign the [Eclipse CLA](http:https://www.eclipse.org/legal/CLA.php)
1. Register for an Eclipse Foundation User ID. You can register [here](https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/createaccount.php).
2. Log into the [Projects Portal](https://projects.eclipse.org/), and click on the '[Eclipse CLA](https://projects.eclipse.org/user/sign/cla)' link.
2. Go to your [account settings](https://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/myaccount.php#open_tab_accountsettings) and add your GitHub username to your account.
3. Make sure that you _sign-off_ your Git commits in the following format:
``` Signed-off-by: John Smith <[email protected]> ``` This is usually at the bottom of the commit message. You can automate this by adding the '-s' flag when you make the commits. e.g. ```git commit -s -m "Adding a cool feature"```
4. Ensure that the email address that you make your commits with is the same one you used to sign up to the Eclipse Foundation website with.

## Contributing a change

- <https://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Handling_Git_Contributions>
1. [Fork the repository on GitHub](https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/fork)
2. Clone the forked repository onto your computer: ``` git clone
https://github.com/<your username>/mosquitto.git ```
3. If you are adding a new feature, then create a new branch from the latest
```develop``` branch with ```git checkout -b YOUR_BRANCH_NAME
origin/develop```
4. If you are fixing a bug, then create a new branch from the latest
```fixes``` branch with ```git checkout -b YOUR_BRANCH_NAME origin/fixes```
5. Make your changes
6. Ensure that all new and existing tests pass.
7. Commit the changes into the branch: ``` git commit -s ``` Make sure that
your commit message is meaningful and describes your changes correctly.
8. If you have a lot of commits for the change, squash them into a single / few
commits.
9. Push the changes in your branch to your forked repository.
10. Finally, go to
[https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto](https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto)
and create a pull request from your "YOUR_BRANCH_NAME" branch to the
```develop``` or ```fixes``` branch as appropriate to request review and
merge of the commits in your pushed branch.

If your contribution is a fix for a bug, please use the 'fixes' branch as the
base for your work. If you are proposing new behaviour/features please use the
'develop' branch.

Once the patch is pushed back to Gerrit, the project committers will be
informed and they will undertake a review of the code. The patch may need
modifying for some reason. In order to make amending commits more
straightforward, the steps at
<https://git.eclipse.org/r/Documentation/cmd-hook-commit-msg.html> should be
followed. This automatically inserts a "Change-Id" entry to your commit message
which allows you to amend commits and have Gerrit track them as the same
change.

What happens next depends on the content of the patch. If it is 100% authored
by the contributor and is less than 1000 lines (and meets the needs of the
project), then it can be committed to the main repository. If not, more steps
are required. These are detailed in the legal process poster:
