Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end).

### Before you contribute
|
|
Before we can use your code, you must sign the
|
|
[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
|
|
(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
|
|
copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
|
|
codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
|
|
need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
|
|
know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
|
|
the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
|
|
approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
|
|
Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
|
|
us first via email with your idea so that we can help out and possibly guide
|
|
you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid frustration later on.
|
|
|
|
### Code reviews
|
|
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
|
|
use [Gerrit](https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com) for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
#### Setup
|
|
If you have not done so on this machine, you will need to set up a password for
|
|
Gerrit. Sign in with a Google account, visit
|
|
[this link](https://boringssl.googlesource.com/), and click the "Generate
|
|
Password" link in the top right. You will also need to prepare your checkout to
|
|
[add Change-Ids](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/cmd-hook-commit-msg.html)
|
|
on commit. Run:
|
|
|
|
curl -Lo .git/hooks/commit-msg https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
|
|
chmod u+x .git/hooks/commit-msg
|
|
|
|
#### Uploading changes
|
|
To upload a change, push it to the special `refs/for/master` target:
|
|
|
|
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
|
|
|
|
The output will then give you a link to the change. Add `agl@google.com` and
|
|
`davidben@google.com` as reviewers.
|
|
|
|
Pushing a commit with the same Change-Id as an existing change will upload a new
|
|
version of it. (Use the `git rebase` or `git commit --amend` commands.)
|
|
|
|
For more detailed instructions, see the
|
|
[Gerrit User Guide](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-user.html).

### The small print
|
|
Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than
|
|
the one above, the
|
|
[Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate).
