@ -58,31 +58,83 @@ maps), `time/`, `os/`, etc. Their documentation is pretty clear.
username will be referred to later as 'YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME'. Change it
accordingly in the steps below.)
1. Clone https://github.com/vlang/v in a folder, say nv (`git clone
https://github.com/vlang/v nv`)
1. `cd nv`
1. `git remote add pullrequest git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/v.git` #
(NOTE: this is your own forked repo of: https://github.com/vlang/v - After
this, we just do normal git operations such as: `git pull` and so on.)
1. When finished with a feature/bugfix, you can: `git checkout -b fix_alabala`
1. `git push pullrequest` # (NOTE: the pullrequest remote was setup on step 3)
1. On GitHub's web interface, I go to: https://github.com/vlang/v/pulls Here
the UI shows a nice dialog with a button to make a new pull request based on
the new pushed branch. (Example dialogue:

1. After making your pullrequest (aka, PR), you can continue to work on the
branch... just do step #5 when you have more commits.
1. If there are merge conflicts, or a branch lags too much behind V's master,
you can do the following:
1. `git checkout master`
1. `git pull`
1. `git checkout fix_alabala`
1. `git rebase master` # solve conflicts and do git rebase --continue
1. `git push pullrequest -f`
1. Fork https://github.com/vlang/v using GitHub's interface to your own account.
Let's say that the forked repository is at
`https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/v` .
2. Clone the main v repository https://github.com/vlang/v to a local folder on your computer, say named nv/
(`git clone https://github.com/vlang/v nv`)
3. `cd nv`
4. `git remote add pullrequest https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/v`
NB: the remote named `pullrequest` should point to YOUR own forked repo, not the main v repository!
After this, your local cloned repository is prepared for making pullrequests,
and you can just do normal git operations such as: `git pull` `git status` and so on.
The point of doing the above steps to never directly push to the main V
repository, only to your own fork. Since your local master branch tracks the
main V repository's master, then `git checkout master; git pull --rebase origin
master` work as expected (this is actually used by `v up`) and it can always do
so cleanly. Git is very flexible, so there may be simpler/easier ways to
accomplish the same thing.

5. If there are merge conflicts, or a branch lags too much behind V's master,
you can do the following:
1. `git pull --rebase origin master` # solve conflicts and do `git rebase --continue`
2. `git push pullrequest -f` # this will overwrite your current remote branch with the updated version of your changes.
The point of doing the above steps, is to never directly push to the main V
repository, *only to your own fork*. Since your local `master` branch tracks the
main V repository's master, then `git checkout master`, as well as
`git pull --rebase origin master` will continue to work as expected
(these are actually used by `v up`) and git can always do it cleanly.
Git is very flexible, so there are other ways to accomplish the same thing.
## Using Github's hub CLI tool
You can download the `hub` tool from https://hub.github.com/ . Using
`hub`, you will not need to go through the (sometimes) slow website
to make PRs. Most remote operations can be done through the `hub` CLI
command.
NB: You still need to have a GitHub account.
### Preparation:
(steps 1..3 need to be done just *once*):
1. `hub clone vlang/v my_v`
2. `cd my_v`
3. `hub fork --remote-name pullrequest`
4. `git checkout -b my_cool_feature` # Step 4 is better done *once per each new feature/bugfix* that you make.
### Improve V by making commits:
5. `git commit -am "math: add a new function copysign"`
### Testing your commits locally:
You can test locally whether your changes have not broken something by
running: `v test-compiler`
### Publishing your commits to GitHub:
6. `git push pullrequest`
### Making a PR with `hub`:
(so that your changes can be merged to the main V repository)
7. `hub pull-request`
Optionally, you can track the status of your PR CI tests with:
8. `hub ci-status --verbose`
### Fixing failing tests:
If everything is OK, after 5-10 minutes, the CI tests should pass for
all platforms. If not, visit the URLs for the failing CI jobs, see
which tests have failed and then fix them by making more changes. Just use
`git push pullrequest` to publish your changes. The CI tests will
run with your updated code. Use `hub ci-status --verbose` to monitor
their status.
