How to contribute

  1. Help to review and verify existing patches

Contributing via a patch

  1. Check out the latest version of the source code
  1. Modify the source to include the improvement/bugfix
  • Remember to provide tests for all submited changes
  • When bugfixing: add test that will isolate bug before applying change that fixes it
  • Verify that you follow Thrift Coding Standards (you can run 'make style', which ensures proper format for some languages)
  1. Create a patch from project root directory (e.g. you@dev:~/thrift $ ):
  • git diff > ../thrift-XXX-my-new-feature.patch
  1. Attach the newly generated patch to the issue
  2. Wait for other contributors or committers to review your new addition

Contributing via GitHub pull requests
