Thanks for offering your help.
In order to make our cooperation as smooth as possible, we have a couple of guidelines that we'd like you to follow:
- If in doubt, please discuss your ideas first before providing a pull request. This often helps avoid a lot of unnecessary work.
- Fork the repository.
- Check out and work on your own fork.
- Try to make your commits as atomic as possible. Related changes to three files should be committed in one commit.
- The commit message should reference the issue number, e.g.
[#5873] Add Setting.quoteEscaping to allow for alternative escaping of single quotes
. - Try not to modify anything unrelated, i.e. don't make unimportant whitespace / formatting changes, which will just distract during review.
- In particular, please do not remove excess whitespace / unnecessary imports etc. The jOOQ Open Source Edition is a "slave clone" of the commercial jOOQ distributions. We'd like to keep all line numbers intact between the two versions!
- Don't worry about tests. Our unit and integration tests are not open source. If your change is substantial, we'll add tests ourselves.
- Add your name to our jOOQ/src/main/resources/META-INF/ABOUT.txt file
- Be sure you agree to transfer your rights to us (see below) before contributing.
Thank you very much for contributing to jOOQ.
