We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
Please let us know what you're working on if you want to change or add to the Bazel Visual Studio Code extension.
Before undertaking to write something new for the extension, please file an issue or claim an existing issue. All significant changes to the extension must be discussed before they can be accepted. This gives all participants a chance to validate the design and to avoid duplication of effort.
Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project. Head over to https://cla.developers.google.com/ to see your current agreements on file or to sign a new one.
You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it again.
To contribute, you likely should already be familiar with VS Code extensions. The best place to start is probably their guide.
Once somewhat familiar with the process, you just need to check out this
project, do an npm install to get the required packages into the local
checkout's node_modules and then open the directory in VS Code. There are
already tasks configured to build/debug the extension. Note: having the released
version of this extension install what trying to work on it can some times
confuse things, so it is usually best to not have the release version installed
at the same time.
To enforce a consistent code style through our code base, we have configured the project to use prettier and eslint to perform formatting and linting. We strongly recommend installing the following Visual Studio Code extensions to have these tools applied automatically as you develop:
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.
