# Contributing
|
||||
The XRP Ledger has many and diverse stakeholders, and everyone deserves a chance to contribute meaningful changes to the code that runs the XRPL.
|
||||
To contribute, please:
|
||||
1. Fork the repository under your own user.
|
||||
2. Create a new branch on which to write your changes. Please note that changes which alter transaction processing must be composed via and guarded using [Amendments](https://xrpl.org/amendments.html). Changes which are _read only_ i.e. RPC, or changes which are only refactors and maintain the existing behaviour do not need to be made through an Amendment.
|
||||
3. Write and test your code.
|
||||
4. Ensure that your code compiles with the provided build engine and update the provided build engine as part of your PR where needed and where appropriate.
|
||||
5. Write test cases for your code and include those in `src/test` such that they are runnable from the command line using `./rippled -u`. (Some changes will not be able to be tested this way.)
|
||||
6. Ensure your code passes automated checks (e.g. clang-format and levelization.)
|
||||
7. Squash your commits (i.e. rebase) into as few commits as is reasonable to describe your changes at a high level (typically a single commit for a small change.)
|
||||
8. Open a PR to the main repository onto the _develop_ branch, and follow the provided template.

# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
We assume you are familiar with the general practice of [making
|
||||
contributions on GitHub][1]. This file includes only special
|
||||
instructions specific to this project.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Before you start
|
||||
|
||||
In general, contributions should be developed in your personal
|
||||
[fork](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/fork).
|
||||
|
||||
The following branches exist in the main project repository:
|
||||
|
||||
- `dev`: The latest set of unreleased features, and the most common
|
||||
starting point for contributions.
|
||||
- `candidate`: The latest beta release or release candidate.
|
||||
- `release`: The latest stable release.
|
||||
|
||||
The tip of each branch must be signed. In order for GitHub to sign a
|
||||
squashed commit that it builds from your pull request, GitHub must know
|
||||
your verifying key. Please set up [signature verification][signing].
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
[signing]:
|
||||
https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/managing-commit-signature-verification/about-commit-signature-verification
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Major contributions
|
||||
|
||||
If your contribution is a major feature or breaking change, then you
|
||||
must first write an XRP Ledger Standard (XLS) describing it. Go to
|
||||
[XRPL-Standards](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/discussions),
|
||||
choose the next available standard number, and open a discussion with an
|
||||
appropriate title to propose your draft standard.
|
||||
|
||||
When you submit a pull request, please link the corresponding XLS in the
|
||||
description. An XLS still in draft status is considered a
|
||||
work-in-progress and open for discussion. Please allow time for
|
||||
questions, suggestions, and changes to the XLS draft. It is the
|
||||
responsibility of the XLS author to update the draft to match the final
|
||||
implementation when its corresponding pull request is merged, unless the
|
||||
author delegates that responsibility to others.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Before making a pull request
|
||||
|
||||
Changes that alter transaction processing must be guarded by an
|
||||
[Amendment](https://xrpl.org/amendments.html).
|
||||
All other changes that maintain the existing behavior do not need an
|
||||
Amendment.
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure that your code compiles according to the build instructions in
|
||||
[`BUILD.md`](./BUILD.md).
|
||||
If you create new source files, they must go under `src/ripple`.
|
||||
You will need to add them to one of the
|
||||
[source lists](./Builds/CMake/RippledCore.cmake) in CMake.
|
||||
|
||||
Please write tests for your code.
|
||||
If you create new test source files, they must go under `src/test`.
|
||||
You will need to add them to one of the
|
||||
[source lists](./Builds/CMake/RippledCore.cmake) in CMake.
|
||||
If your test can be run offline, in under 60 seconds, then it can be an
|
||||
automatic test run by `rippled --unittest`.
|
||||
Otherwise, it must be a manual test.
|
||||
|
||||
The source must be formatted according to the style guide below.
|
||||
|
||||
Header includes must be [levelized](./Builds/levelization).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Pull requests
|
||||
|
||||
In general, pull requests use `develop` as the base branch.
|
||||
|
||||
(Hotfixes are an exception.)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to pull requests must be added as new commits.
|
||||
Once code reviewers have started looking at your code, please avoid
|
||||
force-pushing a branch in a pull request.
|
||||
This preserves the ability for reviewers to filter changes since their last
|
||||
review.
|
||||
|
||||
A pull request must obtain **approvals from at least two reviewers** before it
|
||||
can be considered for merge by a Maintainer.
|
||||
Maintainers retain discretion to require more approvals if they feel the
|
||||
credibility of the existing approvals is insufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
Pull requests must be merged by [squash-and-merge][2]
|
||||
to preserve a linear history for the `develop` branch.
|
||||
|
||||
# Major Changes
|
||||
If your code change is a major feature, a breaking change or in some other way makes a significant alteration to the way the XRPL will operate, then you must first write an XLS document (XRP Ledger Standard) describing your change.
|
||||
To do this:
|
||||
1. Go to [XLS Standards](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/discussions).
|
||||
2. Choose the next available standard number.
|
||||
3. Open a discussion with the appropriate title to propose your draft standard.
|
||||
4. Link your XLS in your PR.
|
||||
|
||||
# Style guide
|
||||
This is a non-exhaustive list of recommended style guidelines. These are not always strictly enforced and serve as a way to keep the codebase coherent rather than a set of _thou shalt not_ commandments.

|
||||
coherent rather than a set of _thou shalt not_ commandments.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Formatting
|
||||
All code must conform to `clang-format` version 10, unless the result would be unreasonably difficult to read or maintain.
|
||||
To change your code to conform use `clang-format -i <your changed files>`.
|
||||
|
||||
All code must conform to `clang-format` version 10,
|
||||
according to the settings in [`.clang-format`](./.clang-format),
|
||||
unless the result would be unreasonably difficult to read or maintain.
|
||||
To demarcate lines that should be left as-is, surround them with comments like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
// clang-format off
|
||||
...
|
||||
// clang-format on
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can format individual files in place by running `clang-format -i <file>...`
|
||||
from any directory within this project.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install a pre-commit hook to automatically run `clang-format` before every commit:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pip3 install pre-commit
|
||||
pre-commit install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
1. Proliferation of nearly identical code.
|
||||
2. Proliferation of new files and classes.
|
||||
3. Complex inheritance and complex OOP patterns.
|
||||
4. Unmanaged memory allocation and raw pointers.
|
||||
5. Macros and non-trivial templates (unless they add significant value.)
|
||||
6. Lambda patterns (unless these add significant value.)
|
||||
7. CPU or architecture-specific code unless there is a good reason to include it, and where it is used guard it with macros and provide explanatory comments.

|

8. Importing new libraries unless there is a very good reason to do so.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Seek to
|
||||
|
||||
9. Extend functionality of existing code rather than creating new code.
|
||||
10. Prefer readability over terseness where important logic is concerned.
|
||||
11. Inline functions that are not used or are not likely to be used elsewhere in the codebase.
|
||||
12. Use clear and self-explanatory names for functions, variables, structs and classes.
|
||||
13. Use TitleCase for classes, structs and filenames, camelCase for function and variable names, lower case for namespaces and folders.
|
||||
14. Provide as many comments as you feel that a competent programmer would need to understand what your code does.

# Maintainers
|
||||
Maintainers are ecosystem participants with elevated access to the repository. They are able to push new code, make decisions on when a release should be made, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Review
|
||||
New contributors' PRs must be reviewed by at least two of the maintainers. Well established prior contributors can be reviewed by a single maintainer.

|
||||
made, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding and Removing
|
||||
New maintainers can be proposed by two existing maintainers, subject to a vote by a quorum of the existing maintainers. A minimum of 50% support and a 50% participation is required. In the event of a tie vote, the addition of the new maintainer will be rejected.
|
||||
|
||||
Existing maintainers can resign, or be subject to a vote for removal at the behest of two existing maintainers. A minimum of 60% agreement and 50% participation are required. The XRP Ledger Foundation will have the ability, for cause, to remove an existing maintainer without a vote.
