Contributing to the MongoDB project
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Pull requests are always welcome, and the MongoDB dev team appreciates any help the community can
|
|
give to help make MongoDB better.
|
|
|
|
For any particular improvement you want to make, you can begin a discussion on the
|
|
`MongoDB Developers Forum`_. This is the best place discuss your proposed improvement (and its
|
|
implementation) with the core development team.
|

Getting Started
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
- Create a `MongoDB JIRA account`_.
|
|
- Create a `Github account`_.
|
|
- Fork the repository on Github at https://github.com/mongodb/mongo.
|
|

JIRA Tickets
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
All commits to the MongoDB repository must reference an issue in the `SERVER project`_ of the
|
|
MongoDB JIRA. Before creating any new tickets, please search the existing backlog for any open
|
|
tickets that represent your change request. If there is not one, then you should create a new
|
|
ticket.
|
|
|
|
For bugs, please clearly describe the issue you are resolving, including the platforms on which
|
|
the issue is present and clear steps to reproduce.
|
|
|
|
For improvements or feature requests, be sure to explain the goal or use case and the approach
|
|
your solution will take.

|
The Life Cycle of a Pull Request
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here's what happens when you submit a pull request:
|
|
|
|
- The MongoDB engineering team will review your pull request to make sure you have included a
|
|
SERVER ticket in your request and signed the contributor agreement.
|
|
- You should receive a response from one of our engineers with additional questions about your
|
|
contributions.
|
|
- If your pull request matches a ticket and is aligned with the Server Roadmap, it will get
|
|
triaged and reviewed by the Kernel team.
|
|
- Pull requests that have been reviewed and approved will be signed off and merged into a
|
|
development branch and the associated JIRA SERVER issue will be resolved with an expected
|
|
fixVersion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Style Guide
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
All commits to the MongoDB repository must follow the `kernel development rules`_.
|
|
|
|
In particular, all code must follow the MongoDB `kernel code style guidelines`_. For anything
|
|
not covered in this document you should default to the `Google CPP Style Guide`_ and the
|
|
`Google JavaScript Style Guide`_.
|
|
|
|
Your commit message should also be prefaced with the relevant JIRA ticket, e.g. "SERVER-XXX Fixed
|
|
a bug in aggregation".

|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Every non-trivial change to the code base should be accompanied by a relevant addition to or
|
|
modification of the test suite. If you do not believe this is necessary, please add an explanation
|
|
in the JIRA ticket why no such changes are either needed or possible.
|
|
|
|
All changes must also pass the full test suite (including your test additions/changes) on your
|
|
local machine before you open a pull request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contributor Agreement
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
A patch will only be considered for merging into the upstream codebase after you have signed the
|
|
`contributor agreement`_.
