# How to contribute to Phinx
|
|
|
|
Phinx relies heavily on external contributions in order to make it the best database migration
|
|
tool possible. Without the support of our 115+ contributors we wouldn't be where we are today!
|
|
We encourage anyone to submit documentation enhancements and code.
|
|
|
|
Issues, feature requests and bugs should be submitted using the Github issue tool:
|
|
https://github.com/robmorgan/phinx/issues.
|
|
|
|
This document briefly outlines the requirements to contribute code to Phinx.
|
|
|
|
## Considerations
|
|
|
|
Before you submit your pull request take a moment to answer the following questions.
|
|
|
|
Answering '**YES**' to all questions will increase the likelihood of your PR being accepted!
|
|
|
|
* Have I implemented my feature for as many database adapters as possible?
|
|
* Does my new feature improve Phinx's performance or keep it consistent?
|
|
* Does my feature fit within the database migration space?
|
|
* Is the code entirely my own and free from any commercial licensing?
|
|
* Am I happy to release my code under the MIT license?
|
|
* Is my code formatted using the [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md) coding standard?
|
|
|
|
**Note:** We accept bug fixes much faster into our development branch than features.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Great, so you want to contribute. Let's get started:
|
|
|
|
1. Start by forking Phinx on GitHub: https://github.com/robmorgan/phinx
|
|
|
|
1. Clone your repository to a local directory on your development box.
|
|
|
|
1. If you do not have Composer set up already, install it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Change to your Phinx clone directory and pull the necessary dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
php composer.phar install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the `phpunit.xml.dist` template to `phpunit.xml` and change the configuration to suit your environment. If you are not using any particular adapter you can disable it in the `phpunit.xml` file.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the unit tests locally to ensure they pass:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
php vendor/bin/phpunit --config phpunit.xml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Write the code and unit tests for your bug fix or feature.
|
|
|
|
1. Add any relevant documentation.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the unit tests again and ensure they pass.
|
|
|
|
1. Open a pull request on the Github project page. Ensure the code is being merged into the latest development branch (e.g: `0.5.x-dev`) and not `master`.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The Phinx documentation is stored in the **docs** directory using the [RestructedText](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) format. All documentation merged to `master` is automatically published to the Phinx documentation site available
|
|
at: http://docs.phinx.org. Keep this in mind when submitting your PR, or ask someone to merge the development branch back down to master.
