Hi all
My name is Ivange Larry, am from Cameroon and new to maven community. I
have followed the instructions on getting started as a developer in the
Apache maven community and below are a few of the things i have done so far.
First of all greetings to Cameroon and great someone else wants to help.
There are only a few of us.
I did a git clone on this url
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, to get maven source
code. Please correct me if am wrong since i am new to open source, from the
url, it shows that maven source code is not hosted on github. Also i was
instructed that when fixing a bug for a jira ticket, i will have to create
a patche file. But since yesteday, the mails i have been receiving from the
mailing list shows that maven is actually hosted on github, which would
have been better if i just forked the repository, also i noticed that
developers contribute code by creating pull requests not patches. So my
questions are ...
1 - Is the code hosted here
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, the same as the code
hosted on github with this url https://github.com/apache/maven.
2 - In order to contribute, can i just fork the repository on github and
submit pull requests instead of patches.
Basically, yes.
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/ contains the canonical Git repos hosted
by the ASF. Repos hosted on GitHub are read-only mirrors for
convenience. Assume you have found an issue or would like to share an
improvement: create a JIRA issue first. Clone from GitHub, make your
changes. Name the commit by the "[JIRA-ID] desc" and push to a branch of
your clone to GitHub. Create a PR. The rest is left to us. We will
review and merge/reject. After a successful merge, we will target and
close the JIRA issue.
If you provide constant contributions, you can be invited to be a Maven
committer, just like me.
