ModeShape Git repository is open for business

rhauch Jan 15, 2011 12:39 AM

The ModeShape project's official source code repository is now at GitHub: http://github.com/ModeShape/modeshape

We will be adopting the Fork+Pull method of development. The basic idea is that you create a GitHub account and fork the "official" ModeShape repository on GitHub, to which you'll push the commits with your proposed changes. You then generate a pull-request describing your proposed changes, and the ModeShape lead developers will review your changes and pull them into the "official" repository.

This process is described briefly at the bottom of the http://github.com/ModeShape/modeshape page, and includes the various commands that you'll use.

The ModeShape Development Workflow page has a bit more detail, while the Infinispan and GitHub is a very detailed explanation of how to use GitHub (you'll just have to change the Infinispan references to ModeShape).

If there are any questions, please ask in this thread. We'll hopefully improve the documentation in the coming days and weeks. And to learn more about Git, we recommend the following resources:

I've updated the ModeShape Development Workflow article with more detail.

Also, one goal is that all development is done within forks and submitted via pull requests. For the time being, I will be reviewing those pull-requests and merging them into the official repository. But over time, I'd like other contributors to also serve in this capacity (especially to review my changes). As you become comfortable with Git and GitHub, and want to serve as a committer, look at the ModeShape Integration Managers article.

One more link: the ModeShape Development Tools describes the tools that we use in our development environment (like the JDK, Maven, and Eclipse) and provides instructions for installing and configuring Git, creating a GitHub account, and updating your JBoss.org profile so we can associate your Git commits with your JBoss.org profile (and your signed contributor agreement).
