Contributing to CMake ********************* Community ========= CMake is maintained and supported by `Kitware`_ and developed in collaboration with a productive community of contributors. Please subscribe and post to the `CMake Developers List`_ to raise discussion of development topics. .. _`Kitware`: http://www.kitware.com/cmake .. _`CMake Developers List`: https://cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers Patches ======= CMake uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development and code review. To contribute patches: #. Fork the upstream `CMake Repository`_ into a personal account. #. Base all new work on the upstream ``master`` branch. #. Create commits making incremental, distinct, logically complete changes. #. Push a topic branch to a personal repository fork on GitLab. #. Create a GitLab Merge Request targeting the upstream ``master`` branch. .. _`Kitware's GitLab Instance`: https://gitlab.kitware.com .. _`CMake Repository`: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake Code Style ========== We use `clang-format`_ to define our style for C++ code in the CMake source tree. See the `.clang-format`_ configuration file for our style settings. Use ``clang-format`` version 3.8 or higher to format source files. See also the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash`_ script. .. _`clang-format`: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html .. _`.clang-format`: .clang-format .. _`Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash`: Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash License ======= We do not require any formal copyright assignment or contributor license agreement.
