Therefore fsnotify carries the same [LICENSE](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/LICENSE) as Go. Contributors retain their copyright, so you need to fill out a short form before we can accept your contribution: [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual). + +Please indicate that you have signed the CLA in your pull request. + +### How fsnotify is Developed + +* Development is done on feature branches. +* Tests are run on BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows. +* Pull requests are reviewed and [applied to master][am] using [hub][]. + * Maintainers may modify or squash commits rather than asking contributors to. +* To issue a new release, the maintainers will: + * Update the CHANGELOG + * Tag a version, which will become available through gopkg.in. + +### How to Fork + +For smooth sailing, always use the original import path. Installing with `go get` makes this easy. + +1. Install from GitHub (`go get -u github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify`) +2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`) +3. Ensure everything works and the tests pass (see below) +4. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`) + +Contribute upstream: + +1. Fork fsnotify on GitHub +2. Add your remote (`git remote add fork git@github.com:mycompany/repo.git`) +3. Push to the branch (`git push fork my-new-feature`) +4. Create a new Pull Request on GitHub + +This workflow is [thoroughly explained by Katrina Owen](https://splice.com/blog/contributing-open-source-git-repositories-go/). + +### Testing + +fsnotify uses build tags to compile different code on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows. + +Before doing a pull request, please do your best to test your changes on multiple platforms, and list which platforms you were able/unable to test on. + +To aid in cross-platform testing there is a Vagrantfile for Linux and BSD. + +* Install [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) +* Setup [Vagrant Gopher](https://github.com/nathany/vagrant-gopher) in your `src` folder. +* Run `vagrant up` from the project folder. You can also setup just one box with `vagrant up linux` or `vagrant up bsd` (note: the BSD box doesn't support Windows hosts at this time, and NFS may prompt for your host OS password) +* Once setup, you can run the test suite on a given OS with a single command `vagrant ssh linux -c 'cd fsnotify/fsnotify; go test'`. +* When you're done, you will want to halt or destroy the Vagrant boxes. + +Notice: fsnotify file system events won't trigger in shared folders. The tests get around this limitation by using the /tmp directory. + +Right now there is no equivalent solution for Windows and macOS, but there are Windows VMs [freely available from Microsoft](http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads). + +### Maintainers + +Help maintaining fsnotify is welcome. To be a maintainer: + +* Submit a pull request and sign the CLA as above. +* You must be able to run the test suite on Mac, Windows, Linux and BSD. + +To keep master clean, the fsnotify project uses the "apply mail" workflow outlined in Nathaniel Talbott's post ["Merge pull request" Considered Harmful][am]. This requires installing [hub][]. + +All code changes should be internal pull requests. + +Releases are tagged using [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/). + +[hub]: https://github.com/github/hub +[am]: http://blog.spreedly.com/2014/06/24/merge-pull-request-considered-harmful/#.VGa5yZPF_Zs |
