Contributing

If you submit a pull request, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

1. Code should be go fmt compliant.
2. Types, structs and funcs should be documented.
3. Tests pass.

Getting set up

Assuming your $GOPATH is set up according to your desires, run:

go get github.com/digitalocean/godo
go get -u github.com/stretchr/testify/assert

If outside $GOPATH, just clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/digitalocean/godo

Running tests

When working on code in this repository, tests can be run via:

go test .

Versioning

Godo follows semver versioning semantics. New functionality should be accompanied by increment to the minor version number. The current strategy is to release often. Any code which is complete, tested, reviewed, and merged to master is worthy of release.

Releasing

Releasing a new version of godo is currently a manual process.

1. Update the CHANGELOG.md with your changes. If a version header for the next (unreleased) version does not exist, create one. Include one bullet point for each piece of new functionality in the release, including the pull request ID, description, and author(s).

## [v1.8.0] - 2019-03-13

- #210 Expose tags on storage volume create/list/get. - @jcodybaker
- #123 Update test dependencies - @digitalocean

2. Update the libraryVersion number in godo.go.
3. Make a pull request with these changes. This PR should be separate from the PR containing the godo changes.
4. Once the pull request has been merged, draft a new release.
5. Update the Tag version and Release title field with the new godo version. Be sure the version has a v prefixed in both places. Ex v1.8.0.
6. Copy the changelog bullet points to the description field.
7. Publish the release.
