If you'd like to contribute to Ethereum Go please fork, fix, commit and
|
|
|
|
|
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
|
2014-02-15 10:49:29 +00:00
|
|
|
are ignored. If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
|
|
|
|
|
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
|
|
|
|
|
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.

To make life easier try [git flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) it sets

this all up and streamlines your work flow.

Coding standards
|
|
|
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sources should be formatted according to the [Go Formatting
|
|
|
|
|
Style](http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless structs fields are supposed to be directly accesible, provide
|
|
|
|
|
Getters and hide the fields through Go's exporting facility.

When you comment put meaningfull comments. Describe in detail what you
|
|
|
|
|
want to achieve.

*wrong*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
|
|
|
// Check if the value at x is greater than y
|
|
|
|
|
if x > y {
|
|
|
|
|
// It's greater!
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
```

Everyone reading the source probably know what you wanted to achieve
|
|
|
|
|
with above code. Those are **not** meaningful comments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the project isn't 100% tested I want you to write tests non the
|
|
|
|
|
less. I haven't got time to evaluate everyone's code in detail so I
|
|
|
|
|
expect you to write tests for me so I don't have to test your code
|
|
|
|
|
manually. (If you want to contribute by just writing tests that's fine
|
|
|
|
|
too!)
