||||
2. Once approved, [fork the MeiliSearch repository](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo) in your own
|
||||
Github account.

|
||||
6. [Submit the branch as a pull request](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) to the main MeiliSearch

|
||||
## Change Control
|
||||
## Development Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup and run MeiliSearch
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend using the `--release` flag to test the full performance of MeiliSearch.
|
||||
|
||||
### Test
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cargo test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you get a "Too many open size" error you might want to increase the open file limit using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ulimit -Sn 3000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Git Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Git Branches
|
||||
|
||||
_All_ changes must be made in a branch and submitted as [pull requests](#pull-requests).
|
||||
MeiliSearch does not adopt any type of branch naming style, but please use something
|
||||
descriptive of your changes.
|
||||
All changes must be made in a branch and submitted as PR.
|
||||
|
||||
We do not enforce any branch naming style, but please use something descriptive of your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Git Commits
|
||||
|
||||
#### Style
|
||||
As minimal requirements, your commit message should:
|
||||
- be capitalized
|
||||
- not finish by a dot or any other punctuation character (!,?)
|
||||
- start with a verb so that we can read your commit message this way: "This commit will ...", where "..." is the commit message.
|
||||
e.g.: "Fix the home page button" or "Add more tests for create_index method"
|
||||
|
||||
Please ensure your commits are small and focused; they should tell a story of
|
||||
your change. This helps reviewers to follow your changes, especially for more
|
||||
complex changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Familiarise yourself with [How to Write a Git Commit Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
|
||||
We don't follow any other convention, but if you want to use one, we recommend [this one](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Github Pull Requests
|
||||
|
||||
Once your changes are ready you must submit your branch as a pull request.
|
||||
Some notes on GitHub PRs:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Reviews & Approvals
|
||||
- All PRs must be reviewed and approved by at least one maintainer.
|
||||
- The PR title should be accurate and descriptive of the changes.
|
||||
- [Convert your PR as a draft](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if your changes are a work in progress: no one will review it until you pass your PR as ready for review.<br>
|
||||
The draft PR can be very useful if you want to show that you are working on something and make your work visible.
|
||||
- The branch related to the PR must be **up-to-date with `main`** before merging. Fortunately, this project [Bors](https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng) to automatically enforce this requirement without the PR author having to do it manually..
|
||||
|
||||
All pull requests must be reviewed and approved by at least one MeiliSearch team
|
||||
member.
|
||||
<hr>
|
||||
|
||||
#### Merge Style
|
||||
|
||||
All pull requests are squashed and merged. We generally discourage large pull
|
||||
requests that are over 300-500 lines of diff. If you would like to propose
|
||||
a change that is larger we suggest coming onto our chat channel and
|
||||
discuss it with one of our engineers. This way we can talk through the
|
||||
solution and discuss if a change that large is even needed! This overall
|
||||
will produce a quicker response to the change and likely produce code that
|
||||
aligns better with our process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
See the [MeiliSearch Docs](https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/features/installation.html) for how to set up a development environment.
|
||||
|
||||
### Benchmarking & Profiling
|
||||
|
||||
We do not yet do any benchmarking, nor have we formalised our profiling. If you'd like to work on this please get in touch!
|
||||
|
||||
## Humans
|
||||
|
||||
After making your change, you'll want to prepare it for MeiliSearch users (mostly humans). This usually entails updating documentation and announcing your feature.
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation is very important to MeiliSearch. All contributions that
|
||||
alter user-facing behavior MUST include documentation changes. Please see
|
||||
[GitHub.com/meilisearch/documentation](https://github.com/meilisearch/documentation) for more info.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changelog
|
||||
|
||||
Until we have guidelines in place, updating the [`Changelog`](/CHANGELOG.md) is solely the responsibility of MeiliSearch team members.
|
||||
Thank you again for reading this through, we can not wait to begin to work with you if you made your way through this contributing guide ❤️
