# How to contribute # Contributing to Vagrant
We like to encourage you to contribute to the repository. **First:** We like to encourage you to contribute to the repository. If you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or submit the issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at for giving your best effort. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the way of that.
This should be as easy as possible for you but there are a few things to consider when contributing.
The following guidelines for contribution should be followed if you want to submit a pull request.
## How to prepare However, for those individuals who want a bit more guidance on the best way to contribute to the project, read on. This document will cover what we're looking for. By addressing all the points we're looking for, it raises the chances we can quickly merge or address your contributions.
* You need a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free) Before opening a new issue or pull request, we do appreciate if you take some time to search for [possible duplicates](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc), or similar discussions in the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vagrant-up). On GitHub, you can scope searches by labels to narrow things down.
* Submit an [issue ticket](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues) for your issue if there is not one yet.
* Describe the issue and include steps to reproduce when it's a bug.
* Ensure to mention the earliest version that you know is affected.
* If you plan on submitting a bug report, please submit debug-level logs along
with the report using [gist](https://gist.github.com/) or some other paste
service by prepending `VAGRANT_LOG=debug` to your `vagrant` commands.
* Fork the repository on GitHub
## Make Changes ## Issues
### Reporting an Issue
**Tip:** We have provided a [GitHub issue template](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md). By respecting the proposed format and filling all the relevant sections, you'll strongly help the Vagrant collaborators to handle your request the best possible way.
### Issue Lifecycle
1. The issue is reported.
2. The issue is verified and categorized by Vagrant collaborator(s). Categorization is done via GitHub tags for different dimensions (like issue type, affected components, pending actions, etc.)
3. Unless it is critical, the issue is left for a period of time, giving outside contributors a chance to address the issue. Later, the issue may be assigned to a Vagrant collaborator and planned for a specific release [milestone](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/milestones)
4. The issue is addressed in a pull request or commit. The issue will be referenced in the commit message so that the code that fixes it is clearly linked.
5. The issue is closed. Sometimes, valid issues will be closed to keep the issue tracker clean. The issue is still indexed and available for future viewers, or can be re-opened if necessary.
## Pull Requests
Thank you for contributing! Here you'll find information on what to include in your Pull Request (“PR” for short) to ensure it is reviewed quickly, and possibly accepted.
Before starting work on a new feature or anything besides a minor bug fix, it is highly recommended to first initiate a discussion with the Vagrant community (either via a GitHub issue, the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vagrant-up), IRC freenode `#vagrant` or [Gitter](https://gitter.im/mitchellh/vagrant)). This will save you from wasting days implementing a feature that could be rejected in the end.
No pull request template is provided on GitHub. The expected changes are often already described and validated in an existing issue, that obviously should be referenced. The Pull Request thread should be mainly used for the code review.
**Tip:** Make it small! A focused PR gives you the best chance of having it accepted. Then, repeat if you have more to propose!
### How to prepare
Once you're confident that your upcoming changes will be accepted:
* In your forked repository, create a topic branch for your upcoming patch. * In your forked repository, create a topic branch for your upcoming patch.
* Usually this is based on the master branch. * Usually this is based on the master branch.
* Create a branch based on master; `git branch * Checkout a new branch based on master; `git checkout -b my-contrib master`

checkout fix/master/my_contribution`. Please avoid working directly on the `master` branch. * Make focused commits of logical units and describe them properly.
* Make commits of logical units and describe them properly. * Avoid re-formatting of the existing code
* Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing. * Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
* If possible, submit tests along with your topic branch. It will help a lot to get your your patch / new feature accepted, and should prevent unwanted breaking changes to silently happen in future developments.
* Assure nothing is broken by running manual tests, and all the automated tests.
* If possible, submit tests to your patch / new feature so it can be tested easily. ### Submit Changes

## Submit Changes
* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository. * Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
* Open a pull request to the original repository and choose the right original branch you want to patch. * Open a PR to the original repository and choose the right original branch you want to patch (master for most cases).
* If not done in commit messages (which you really should do) please reference and update your issue with the code changes. * If not done in commit messages (which you really should do) please reference and update your issue with the code changes.
* Even if you have write access to the repository, do not directly push or merge pull-requests. Let another team member review your pull request and approve. * Even if you have write access to the repository, do not directly push or merge your own pull requests. Let another team member review your PR and approve.
### Pull Request Lifecycle
1. You are welcome to submit your PR for commentary or review before it is fully completed. Please prefix the title of your PR with "[WIP]" to indicate this. It's also a good idea to include specific questions or items you'd like feedback on.
2. The PR is categorized by Vagrant collaborator(s), applying GitHub tags similarly to issues triage.
3. Once you believe your PR is ready to be merged, you can remove any
"[WIP]" prefix from the title and a Vagrant collaborator will review.
4. One of Vagrant collaborator will look over your contribution and either provide comments letting you know if there is anything left to do. We do our best to provide feedback in a timely manner, but it may take some time for us to respond.
5. Once all outstanding comments have been addressed, your contribution will be merged! Merged PRs will be included in the next Vagrant release. The Vagrant contributors will take care of updating the CHANGELOG as they merge.
6. We might decide that a PR should be closed. We'll make sure to provide clear reasoning when this happens.
