Labels

By Subsystem

We generally sort issues by a concept of "subsystem" so that we know what part(s) of the codebase it touches.

Subsystems generally are:

  • lib/*.js
  • doc, build, tools, test, deps, lib / src (special), and there may be others.
  • meta for anything non-code (process) related

There may be more than one subsystem valid for any particular issue / PR.

General

Please use these when possible / appropriate

  • confirmed-bug - Bugs you have verified exist
  • discuss - Things that need larger discussion
  • feature request - Any issue that requests a new feature (usually not PRs)
  • good first contribution - Issues suitable for newcomers to process

--

  • semver-{minor,major}
    • be conservative that is, if a change has the remote chance of breaking something, go for semver-major
    • when adding a semver label, add a comment explaining why you're adding it
    • minor vs. patch: roughly: "does it add a new method / does it add a new section to the docs"
    • major vs. everything else: run last versions tests against this version, if they pass, probably minor or patch
    • A breaking change helper (full source):
    git checkout $(git show -s --pretty='%T' $(git show-ref -d $(git describe --abbrev=0) | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}')) -- test; make -j4 test
    

Other Labels

  • Operating system labels
    • macos, windows, smartos, aix
    • No linux, linux is the implied default
  • Architecture labels
    • arm, mips, s390, ppc
    • No x86{_64}, since that is the implied default
  • lts-agenda, lts-watch-v*
    • tag things that should be discussed to go into LTS or should go into a specific LTS branch
    • (usually only semver-patch things)
    • will come more naturally over time

Updating Node.js from Upstream

  • git remote add upstream git://github.com/nodejs/node.git

to update from nodejs/node:

  • git checkout master
  • git remote update -p OR git fetch --all (I prefer the former)
  • git merge --ff-only upstream/master (or REMOTENAME/BRANCH)

If git am fails

  • if git am fails use git am --abort
    • this usually means the PR needs updated
    • prefer to make the originating user update the code, since they have it fresh in mind
  • first, reattempt with git am -3 (3-way merge)`
  • if -3 still fails, and you need to get it merged:
    • git fetch upstream pull/N/head:pr-N && git checkout pr-N && git rebase master

best practices

  • commit often, out to your github fork (origin), open a PR
  • when making PRs make sure to spend time on the description:
    • every moment you spend writing a good description quarters the amount of time it takes to understand your code.
  • usually prefer to only squash at the end of your work, depends on the change
