We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
In the interest of keeping this repository clean and manageable, you should
work from a fork. To create a fork, click the 'Fork' button at the top of the
repository, then clone the fork locally using git clone git@https://github.com/signalfx/microservices-demo.
You should also add this repository as an "upstream" repo to your local copy, in order to keep it up to date. You can add this as a remote like so:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/signalfx/microservices-demo.git
Verify that the upstream exists:
git remote -v
To update your fork, fetch the upstream repo's branches and commits, then merge
your main with upstream's main:
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
Remember to always work in a branch of your local copy, as you might otherwise
have to contend with conflicts in main.
Checkout a new branch, make modifications, build locally, and push the branch to your fork to open a new PR:
$ git checkout -b feature
# edit
$ make
$ make fmt
$ git commit
$ git push fork feature
