Contributor Guidelines

Submitting Changes to Chronos

  • A GitHub pull request is the preferred way of submitting patch sets.

  • Any changes in the public API or behavior must be reflected in the project documentation.

  • Pull requests should include appropriate additions to the unit test suite.

  • If the change is a bugfix, then the added tests must fail without the patch as a safeguard against future regressions.

  • Changes should not result in a drop in code coverage. Coverage may be checked by running mvn scoverage:check
