<B>OVERVIEW</B>
We're open to incorporating gsutil code changes authored by users. Here
are some guidelines:
1. Before we can accept code submissions, we have to jump a couple of legal
hurdles. Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor
License Agreement:
- If you are an individual writing original source code and you're
sure you own the intellectual property,
then you'll need to sign an individual CLA
(https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual).
- If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your
work to gsutil, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA
(https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate)
Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll
add you to the official list of contributors and be able to accept
your patches.
2. If you found a bug or have an idea for a feature enhancement, we suggest
you check https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil/issues to see if it
has already been reported by another user. From there you can also
subscribe to updates to the issue.
3. If a GitHub issue doesn't already exist, create one about your idea before
sending actual code. Often we can discuss the idea and help propose things
that could save you later revision work.
4. We tend to avoid adding command line options that are of use to only
a very small fraction of users, especially if there's some other way
to accommodate such needs. Adding such options complicates the code and
also adds overhead to users having to read through an "alphabet soup"
list of option documentation.
5. While gsutil has a number of features specific to Google Cloud Storage,
it can also be used with other cloud storage providers. We're open to
including changes for making gsutil support features specific to other
providers, as long as those changes don't make gsutil work worse for Google
Cloud Storage. If you do make such changes we recommend including someone
with knowledge of the specific provider as a code reviewer (see below).
6. You can check out the gsutil code from the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil
To clone a read-only copy of the repository:
git clone git://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gsutil.git
To push your own changes to GitHub, click the Fork button on the
repository page and clone the repository from your own fork.
7. The gsutil git repository uses git submodules to pull in external modules.
After checking out the repository, make sure to also pull the submodules
by entering into the gsutil top-level directory and run:
git submodule update --init --recursive
8. Please make sure to run all tests against your modified code. To
do this, change directories into the gsutil top-level directory and run:
./gsutil test
The above tests take a long time to run because they send many requests to
the production service. The gsutil test command has a -u argument that will
only run unit tests. These run quickly, as they are executed with an
in-memory mock storage service implementation. To run only the unit tests,
run:
./gsutil test -u
If you made changes to boto, please run the boto tests. For these tests you
need to use HMAC credentials (from gsutil config -a), because the current
boto test suite doesn't import the OAuth2 handler. You'll also need to
install some python modules. Change directories into the boto root
directory at third_party/boto and run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
(You probably need to run this command using sudo.)
Make sure each of the individual installations succeeded. If they don't
you may need to run the install command again.
Then ensure your .boto file has HMAC credentials defined (the boto tests
don't load the OAUTH2 plugin), and then change directories into boto's
tests directory and run:
python test.py unit
python test.py -t s3 -t gs -t ssl
9. Please consider contributing test code for your change, especially if the
change impacts any of the core gsutil code (like the gsutil cp command).
10. When it's time to send us code, please use the Rietveld code review tool
rather than simply sending us a code patch. Do this as follows:
- Check out the gsutil code from your fork of the gsutil repository and
apply your changes.
- Download the "upload.py" script from
https://github.com/rietveld-codereview/rietveld
- Run upload.py from your git directory with the changes.
- Click the codereview.appspot.com link it generates, click "Edit Issue",
and add mfschwartz@google.com and thobrla@google.com as reviewers, and
Cc gs-team@google.com.
- Click Publish+Mail Comments.
- Once your changes are accepted, submit a pull request on GitHub and we
will merge your commits.
