Contributing Guideline

Welcome contributing to Longhorn!

This guideline applies to all the repositories under Longhorn.

Contributing to Longhorn is not limited to writing the code or submitting the PR. We will also appreciate if you can file issues, provide feedback and suggest new features. In fact, many of Longhorn's features are driven by the community's need. The community plays a big role in the development of Longhorn.

Of course, contributing the code is more than welcome. To make things simpler, if you're fixing a small issue (e.g. typo), go ahead submitting a PR and we will pick it up; but if you're planning to submit a bigger PR to implement a new feature, it's easier to submit a new issue to discuss the design with the maintainers first before implementing it.

When you're ready to get involved in contributing the code, this developer guide should help you to get up to the speed. And remember to sign off your commits!

Feel free to join the discussion on Longhorn development at longhorn-dev slack channel.

Happy contributing!
