So you've got an awesome idea to throw into Jekyll. Great! Please keep the
|
||
following in mind:
|
||
|
||
* If you're creating a small fix or patch to an existing feature, just a simple
|
||
test will do. Please stay in the confines of the current test suite and use
|
||
[Shoulda](https://github.com/thoughtbot/shoulda/tree/master) and
|
||
[RR](https://github.com/btakita/rr/tree/master).
|
||
* If it's a brand new feature, make sure to create a new
|
||
[Cucumber](https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/) feature and reuse steps
|
||
where appropriate. Also, whipping up some documentation in your fork's `site`
|
||
would be appreciated, and once merged it will be transferred over to the main
|
||
`site`, jekyllrb.com.
|
||
* If your contribution changes any Jekyll behavior, make sure to update the
|
||
documentation. It lives in `site/docs`. If the docs are missing information,
|
||
please feel free to add it in. Great docs make a great project!
|
||
* Please follow the [GitHub Ruby Styleguide](https://github.com/styleguide/ruby)
|
||
when modifying Ruby code.
|
||
* Please do your best to submit **small pull requests**. The easier the proposed
|
||
change is to review, the more likely it will be merged.
|
||
* When submitting a pull request, please make judicious use of the pull request
|
||
body. A description of what changes were made, the motivations behind the
|
||
changes and [any tasks completed or left to complete](http://git.io/gfm-tasks)
|
||
will also speed up review time.
|
||

<div class="note warning">
|

<h5>Contributions will not be accepted without tests</h5>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If you’re creating a small fix or patch to an existing feature, just
|
||
a simple test will do.

||
Test Dependencies
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
To run the test suite and build the gem you'll need to install Jekyll's
|
||
dependencies. Jekyll uses Bundler, so a quick run of the `bundle` command and
|
||
you're all set!
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
$ bundle
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
Before you start, run the tests and make sure that they pass (to confirm your
|
||
environment is configured properly):
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
$ bundle exec rake test
|
||
$ bundle exec rake features
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
Workflow
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
Here's the most direct way to get your work merged into the project:
|
||
|
||
* Fork the project.
|
||
* Clone down your fork:
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
git clone git://github.com/<username>/jekyll.git
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
* Create a topic branch to contain your change:
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
git checkout -b my_awesome_feature
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Hack away, add tests. Not necessarily in that order.
|
||
* Make sure everything still passes by running `rake`.
|
||
* If necessary, rebase your commits into logical chunks, without errors.
|
||
* Push the branch up:
|
||
|
||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||
git push origin my_awesome_feature
|
||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
||
* Create a pull request against jekyll/jekyll:master and describe what your
|
||
change does and the why you think it should be merged.
|
||
|
||
Updating Documentation
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
We want the Jekyll documentation to be the best it can be. We've
|
||
open-sourced our docs and we welcome any pull requests if you find it
|
||
lacking.
|
||
|
||
You can find the documentation for jekyllrb.com in the
|
||
[site]({{ site.repository }}/tree/master/site) directory of
|
||
Jekyll's repo on GitHub.com.
|
||
|
||
All documentation pull requests should be directed at `master`. Pull
|
||
requests directed at another branch will not be accepted.
|
||
|
||
The [Jekyll wiki]({{ site.repository }}/wiki) on GitHub
|
||
can be freely updated without a pull request as all
|
||
GitHub users have access.
|
||
|
||
If you want to add your plugin to the [list of plugins](/docs/plugins/#available-plugins),
|
||
please submit a pull request modifying the [plugins page source
|
||
file]({{ site.repository }}/blob/master/site/_docs/plugins.md) by adding a
|
||
link to your plugin under the proper subheading depending upon its type.
|
||
|
||
Gotchas
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
* If you want to bump the gem version, please put that in a separate commit.
|
||
This way, the maintainers can control when the gem gets released.
|
||
* Try to keep your patch(es) based from the latest commit on jekyll/jekyll.
|
||
The easier it is to apply your work, the less work the maintainers have to do,
|
||
which is always a good thing.
|
||
* Please don't tag your GitHub issue with \[fix\], \[feature\], etc. The maintainers
|
||
actively read the issues and will label it once they come across it.
|
||
|
||
<div class="note">
|
||
<h5>Let us know what could be better!</h5>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Both using and hacking on Jekyll should be fun, simple, and easy, so if for
|
||
some reason you find it’s a pain, please <a
|
||
href="{{ site.repository }}/issues/new">create an issue</a> on
|
||
GitHub describing your experience so we can make it better.
|
||
</p>
