Development Guide

This guide is targeted at developers looking to contribute to Raccoon.

Making a Pull Request

Incorporating upstream changes from main

Our preference is the use of git rebase instead of git merge : git pull -r

Signing commits

Commits have to be signed before they are allowed to be merged into the codebase:

# Include -s flag to signoff
git commit -s -m "My first commit"

Good practices to keep in mind

• Follow conventional commits while composing our commit messages.
• Add WIP: to PR name if more work needs to be done prior to review
• Avoid force-pushing as it makes reviewing difficult

Managing CI-test failures

• GitHub runner tests
  • Click checks tab to analyse failed tests
