We'd love your help with eBPF for Windows! Here are our contribution guidelines.
Code of Conduct
This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Microsoft Code of Conduct FAQ or contact opencode@microsoft.com with additional questions or comments.
Bugs
Did you find a bug?
First, ensure the bug was not already reported by searching on GitHub under Issues.
If you found a non-security related bug, you can help us by submitting a GitHub Issue. The best bug reports provide a detailed description of the issue and step-by-step instructions for reliably reproducing the issue. Even better, you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.
If you found a security issue, please do not open a GitHub Issue, and instead follow these instructions.
Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?
Fork the repo and make your changes. Then open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
-
Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number if applicable.
-
Before submitting, please read the Development Guide to know more about coding conventions.
New Features
You can request a new feature by submitting a GitHub Issue.
If you would like to implement a new feature, please first submit a GitHub Issue and communicate your proposal so that the community can review and provide feedback. Getting early feedback will help ensure your implementation work is accepted by the community. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts and minimize duplicated effort.
Contributor License Agreement
You will need to complete a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) for any code submissions. Briefly, this agreement testifies that you are granting us permission to use the submitted change according to the terms of the project's license, and that the work being submitted is under appropriate copyright. You only need to do this once. For more information see https://cla.opensource.microsoft.com/.
Contributing Code
For all but the absolute simplest changes, first submit a GitHub Issue so that the community can review and provide feedback. Getting early feedback will help ensure your work is accepted by the community. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts and minimize duplicated effort.
If you would like to contribute, first identify the scale of what you would like to contribute. If it is small (grammar/spelling or a bug fix) feel free to start working on a fix. If you are submitting a feature or substantial code contribution, please discuss it with the maintainers and ensure it follows the product roadmap. You might also read these two blogs posts on contributing code: Open Source Contribution Etiquette by Miguel de Icaza and Don't "Push" Your Pull Requests by Ilya Grigorik. All code submissions will be rigorously reviewed and tested by the maintainers, and only those that meet the bar for both quality and design/roadmap appropriateness will be merged into the source.
For all new Pull Requests the following rules apply:
- Existing tests should continue to pass.
- Tests need to be provided for every bug/feature that is completed.
- Documentation needs to be provided for every feature that is end-user visible.
