Oracle welcomes your contributions! There are multiple ways that you can contribute.
For bugs or enhancement requests, please file a GitHub issue, unless the problem is security-related.
When filing a bug, remember that the more specific the bug is, the more likely it is to be fixed. If you think you've found a security vulnerability, then do not raise a GitHub issue. Instead, follow the instructions in our security policy.
Oracle welcomes your code contributions. Before submitting code by using a pull request, you must sign the Oracle Contributor Agreement (OCA), and your commits must include the following line, using the name and e-mail address you used to sign the OCA:
Signed-off-by: Your Name <[email protected]>
You can add this line automatically to pull requests by committing with --sign-off
or -s. For example:
git commit --signoff
Only pull requests from committers that can be verified as having signed the OCA can be accepted.
- Ensure that there is an issue created to track and discuss the fix or enhancement that you intend to submit.
- Fork this repository.
- Create a branch in your fork to implement the changes. Oracle recommends using
the issue number as part of your branch name. For example:
1234-fixes - Ensure that any documentation is updated with the changes that are required by your change.
- If the base image has been changed, then ensure that any examples are updated.
- Submit the pull request. Do not leave the pull request blank. Explain exactly what your changes are meant to do, and provide simple steps to indicate how to validate your changes. Ensure that you reference the issue that you created as well.
- Before the changes are merged, Oracle will assign the pull request to two or three people for review.
Follow the Golden Rule. If you'd like more specific guidelines, then see the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
