Find an Issue

We have good first issues for new contributors and help wanted issues suitable for any contributor.

  • The good first issue tag has extra information to help you make your first contribution.
  • The help wanted tag has issues that are suitable for someone who isn't a core maintainer and is good to move onto after your first pull request.

Sometimes there won’t be any issues with these labels. That’s ok! There is likely still something for you to work on. If you want to contribute but you don’t know where to start or can't find a suitable issue, you can reach out to us in slack

Once you see an issue that you'd like to work on, please post a comment saying that you want to work on it. Something like "I want to work on this" is fine.

Ask for Help

The best way to reach us with a question when contributing is to ask on:

Pull Request Lifecycle

  • Please submit pull-requests for the 'main' branch
  • Please link your PR to an existing issue, if an existing issue is not present consider creating a new issue
  • If the PR is not yet ready you may mark it as a draft, and then once it's ready for a review remove the draft status and add a comment to let us know you are ready for a review.

Pull Request Title

Please ensure the title of your PR begins with a gitemoji such as:

  • :bug: - For bug fixes
  • :book: - For documentation
  • :sparkles: - For new features
  • :seedling: - For infrastructure related changes
  • :warning: - For breaking changes
  • :ghost: - For misc updates/fixes that don't need to show up in release notes

For more info you can consult the pr check we run at konveyor/release-tools

Development Environment Setup

See docs/contrib/dev_environment.md

Linting

  1. Install trunk via: https://docs.trunk.io/check#install-the-cli
  2. Run the linters: trunk check
  3. Format code: trunk fmt

Testing

Modifying a Python Dependency

If you need to add or update a Python dependency in the project, follow these steps:

  1. Add the dependency: Open pyproject.toml and add the new dependency to the dependencies list or modify an existing one.

  2. Compile the requirements: Run the following commands to compile the dependencies and update the requirements.txt file:

       python -m venv <venv-name>
   source <venv-name>/bin/activate
   pip install pip-tools
   pip-compile --allow-unsafe
   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Project

  1. Setup your development environment as per docs/contrib/dev_environment.md

  2. Demo Interaction: Read and follow example/README.md to learn how to leverage a python script example/run_demo.py which will script interaction with Kai.

    Running run_demo.py from the example directory is a recommended way for developers to interact with the project, allowing you to explore and test the workflow. For end users, the standard interaction will be through the IDE plugin, which provides the main interface for usage. The run_demo.py script is an optional method to get a feel for the project.

For end users, please refer to the IDE plugin documentation for the primary interaction path.

Working with Notebooks

When working with Jupyter notebooks, ensure you've installed the project in editable mode pip install -e . to access all project modules and dependencies.

Sign Your Commits

DCO

Licensing is important to open source projects. It provides some assurances that the software will continue to be available based under the terms that the author(s) desired. We require that contributors sign off on commits submitted to our project's repositories. The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a way to certify that you wrote and have the right to contribute the code you are submitting to the project.

You sign-off by adding the following to your commit messages. Your sign-off must match the git user and email associated with the commit.

    This is my commit message
    Signed-off-by: Your Name <your.name@example.com>

Git has a -s command line option to do this automatically:

    git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'

If you forgot to do this and have not yet pushed your changes to the remote repository, you can amend your commit with the sign-off by running

    git commit --amend -s

Pull Request Checklist

When you submit your pull request, or you push new commits to it, our automated systems will run some checks on your new code. We require that your pull request passes these checks, but we also have more criteria than just that before we can accept and merge it. We recommend that you check the following things locally before you submit your code:
