How to contribute
=================
Before diving into code it might be worth reading through the
:ref:`Developing on Bedrock<coding>` documentation, which contains
useful information and links to our coding guidelines for Python, Django,
JavaScript and CSS.
Git workflow
------------
When you want to start contributing, you should create a branch from master.
This allows you to work on different project at the same time::
git checkout master
git checkout -b topic-branch
To keep your branch up-to-date, assuming the mozilla repository is the remote
called mozilla::
git fetch mozilla
git checkout master
git merge mozilla/master
git checkout topic-branch
git rebase master
If you need more Git expertise, a good resource is the `Git book`_.
Once you're done with your changes, you'll need to describe those changes in
the commit message.
Git commit messages
-------------------
Commit messages are important when you need to understand why something was
done.
* First, learn `how to write good git commit messages`_.
* All commit messages must include a bug number. You can put the bug number on
any line, not only the first one.
* If you use the syntax ``bug xxx``, Github will reference the commit into
Bugzilla. With ``fix bug xxx``, it will even close the bug once it goes into
master.
If you're asked to change your commit message, you can use these commands:
.. code-block:: bash
git commit --amend
# -f is doing a force push because you modified the history
git push -f my-remote topic-branch
Submitting your work
--------------------
In general, you should submit your work with a pull request to master. If you
are working with other people or you want to put your work on a demo server,
then you should be working on a common topic branch.
Once your code has been positively reviewed, it will be deployed shortly after.
So if you want feedback on your code but it's not ready to be deployed, you
should note it in the pull request.
Squashing your commits
----------------------
Should your pull request contain more than one commit, sometimes we may ask you
to squash them into a single commit before merging. You can do this with `git
rebase`.
As an example, let's say your pull request contains two commits. To squash them
into a single commit, you can follow these instructions:
git rebase -i HEAD~2
You will then get an editor with your two commits listed. Change the second
commit from `pick` to `fixup`, then save and close. You should then be able to
verify that you only have one commit now with `git log`.
To push to GitHub again, because you "altered the history" of the repo by merging
the two commits into one, you'll have to `git push -f` instead of just `git push`.
Getting a new Bedrock page online
---------------------------------
On our servers, Bedrock pages are accessible behind the ``/b/`` prefix. So if a
page is accessible at this URL locally::
http://localhost:8000/foo/bar
then on our servers, it will be accessible at::
http://www.mozilla.org/b/foo/bar
When you're ready to make a page available to everyone, we need to remove that
/b/ prefix. We handle that with Apache RewriteRule. Apache config files that
are included into the server's config are in the bedrock code base in the
``etc/httpd`` directory. In there you'll find a file for each of the environments.
You'll almost always want to use ``global.conf`` unless you have a great reason
for only wanting the config to stay on one of the non-production environments.
In that file you'll add a RewriteRule that looks like the following:
.. code-block:: apache
# bug 123456
RewriteRule ^/(\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?foo/bar(/?)$ /b/$1foo/bar$2 [PT]
This is a lot simpler than it looks. The first large capture is just what's necessary
to catch every possible locale code. After that it's just your new path. Always capture
the trailing slash as we want that to hit django so it will redirect.
.. note::
It's best if the RewriteRule required for a new page is in the original pull request.
This allows it to flow through the push process with the code and for it to go live
as soon as it's on the production server. It's also one less review and pull-request for
us to manage.
Server architecture

- *Bedrock locale SVN branch:* trunk, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock Git branch:* any branch we want, manually updated
**Dev**
- *URL:* http://www-dev.allizom.org/
- *PHP SVN branch:* trunk, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock locale SVN branch:* trunk, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock Git branch:* master, updated every 10 minutes
**Stage**
- *URL:* http://www.allizom.org/
- *PHP SVN branch:* tags/stage, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock locale SVN branch:* trunk, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock Git branch:* master, updated manually
**Production**
- *URL:* http://www.mozilla.org/
- *PHP SVN branch:* tags/production, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock locale SVN branch:* trunk, updated every 10 minutes
- *Bedrock Git branch:* master, updated manually
We use Chief for the manual deploys. You can check the currently deployed git
commit by checking https://www.mozilla.org/media/revision.txt.
If you want to know more and you have an LDAP account, you can check the
`IT documentation`_.
Pushing to production
---------------------
We're doing pushes as soon as new work is ready to go out.
After doing a push, the "pusher" needs to update the bugs that have been pushed
with a quick message stating that the code was deployed. Chief will send on
#www a URL with all commits that have been deployed.
If you'd like to see the commits that will be deployed before the push run the
following command:
.. code-block:: bash
./bin/open-compare.py
This will discover the currently deployed git hash, and open a compare URL at github
to the latest master. Look at ``open-compare.py -h`` for more options.
