+# GlusterFS project Contribution guidelines
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+We follow most of the details as per the [document here](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests). If you are not aware of the github workflow, it is recommended to go through them before continuing here.
+
+
+#### Get the Repository setup
+
+0. Fork Repository
+ - Fork [GlusterFS repository](https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/fork).
+
+1. Clone Repository
+ - Clone the glusterfs repo freshly from github using below steps.
+
+```
+ git clone git@github.com:${username}/glusterfs.git
+ cd glusterfs/
+ git remote add upstream git@github.com:gluster/glusterfs.git
+```
+
+About two tasks are one time for the life time. You can continue to use the same repository for all the work in future.
+
+#### Development & Other flows
+
+0. Issue:
+ - Make sure there is an issue filed for the task you are working on.
+ - If it is not filed, open the issue with all the description.
+ - If it is a bug fix, add label "Type:Bug".
+ - If it is an RFC, provide all the documentation, and request for "DocApproved", and "SpecApproved" label.
+
+1. Code:
+ - Start coding
+ - Build and test locally
+ - Make sure clang-format is installed and is run on the patch.
+
+2. Keep up-to-date
+ - GlusterFS is a large project with many developers, so there would be one or the other patch everyday.
+ - It is critical for developer to be up-to-date with master repo to be Conflict-Free when PR is opened.
+ - Git provides many options to keep up-to-date, below is one of them
+```
+ git fetch upstream
+ git rebase upstream/master
+```
+ - It is recommended you keep pushing to your repo every day, so you don't loose any work.
+ - It can be done by `./rfc.sh` (or `git push origin HEAD:issueNNN`)
+
+2. Commit Message / PR description:
+ - The name of the branch on your personal fork can start with issueNNNN, followed by anything of your choice.
+ - PRs continue to have the title of format "component: \<title\>", like it is practiced now.
+ - When you open a PR, having a reference Issue for the commit is mandatory in GlusterFS.
+ - Commit message can have, either `Fixes: #NNNN` or `Updates: #NNNN` in a separate line in the commit message.
+ - Here, NNNN is the Issue ID in glusterfs repository.
+ - Each commit needs the author to have the "Signed-off-by: Name \<email\>" line.
+ - Can do this by `-s` option for `git commit`.
+ - If the PR is not ready for review, apply the label `work-in-progress`.
+ - Check the availability of "Draft PR" is present for you, if yes, use that instead.
+
+3. Tests:
+ - All the required smoke tests would be auto-triggered.
+ - Developers get a chance to retrigger the smoke tests using **"/recheck smoke"** as comment.
+ - The "regression" tests would be triggered by a comment **"/run regression"** from anyone in the [@gluster-all](https://github.com/orgs/gluster/teams/gluster-all) group.
+
+4. Review Process:
+ - `+2` : is equivalent to "Approve" from the people in the maintainer's group.
+ - `+1` : can be given by a maintainer/reviewer by explicitly stating that in the comment.
+ - `-1` : provide details on required changes and pick "Request Changes" while submitting your review.
+ - `-2` : done by adding the `DO-NOT-MERGE` label.
+
+ - Any further discussions can happen as comments in the PR.
+
+5. Making changes:
+ - There are 2 approaches to submit changes done after addressing review comments.
+ - Commit changes as a new commit on top of the original commits in the branch, and push the changes to same branch (issueNNNN)
+ - Commit changes into the same commit with `--amend` option, and do a push to the same branch with `--force` option.
+
+6. Merging:
+ - GlusterFS project follows 'Squash and Merge' method
+ - This is mainly to preserve the historic Gerrit method of one patch in `git log` for one URL link.
+ - This also makes every merge a complete patch, which has passed all tests.
+ - The merging of the patch is expected to be done by the maintainers.
+ - It can be done when all the tests (smoke and regression) pass.
+ - When the PR has 'Approved' flag from corresponding maintainer.
+ - If you feel there is delay, feel free to add a comment, discuss the same in Slack channel, or send email.
