Contributing

We don't use GitHub pull requests but use Gerrit for code reviews, similar to the Go project.

  1. Sign one of the contributor license agreements below.
  2. go get golang.org/x/review/git-codereview to install the code reviewing tool.
  3. Get the package by running go get -d golang.org/x/oauth2. Make changes and create a change by running git codereview change <name>, provide a command message, and use git codereview mail to create a Gerrit CL. Keep amending to the change and mail as your recieve feedback.

For more information about the workflow, see Go's Contribution Guidelines.

Before we can accept any pull requests we have to jump through a couple of legal hurdles, primarily a Contributor License Agreement (CLA):

  • If you are an individual writing original source code and you‘re sure you own the intellectual property, then you’ll need to sign an individual CLA.
  • If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a corporate CLA.

You can sign these electronically (just scroll to the bottom). After that, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.
