# Contributing

👍🎉 First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉👍

When contributing to this project, please first discuss the changes you wish to make via an issue before making changes.

Please note the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) document, please follow it in all your interactions with this project.

## Your First Code Contribution

Unsure where to begin contributing? You can start by looking through the [`help-wanted`](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/labels/help-wanted) issues.

### Getting the code

```
git clone https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens.git
```

Prerequisites

- [Git](https://git-scm.com/), `>= 2.7.2`
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/), `>= 16.14.2`
- [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/), `>= 1.22.19`

### Dependencies

From a terminal, where you have cloned the repository, execute the following command to install the required dependencies:

```
yarn
```

### Build

From a terminal, where you have cloned the repository, execute the following command to re-build the project from scratch:

```
yarn run rebuild
```

👉 **NOTE!** This will run a complete rebuild of the project.

Or to just run a quick build, use:

```
yarn run build
```

### Watch

During development you can use a watcher to make builds on changes quick and easy. From a terminal, where you have cloned the repository, execute the following command:

```
yarn run watch
```

Or use the provided `watch` task in VS Code, execute the following from the command palette (be sure there is no `>` at the start):

```
task watch
```

This will first do an initial full build and then watch for file changes, compiling those changes incrementally, enabling a fast, iterative coding experience.

👉 **Tip!** You can press <kbd>CMD+SHIFT+B</kbd> (<kbd>CTRL+SHIFT+B</kbd> on Windows, Linux) to start the watch task.

👉 **Tip!** You don't need to stop and restart the development version of Code after each change. You can just execute `Reload Window` from the command palette.

### Formatting

This project uses [prettier](https://prettier.io/) for code formatting. You can run prettier across the code by calling `yarn run pretty` from a terminal.

To format the code as you make changes you can install the [Prettier - Code formatter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/esbenp.prettier-vscode) extension.

Add the following to your User Settings to run prettier:

```
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
```

### Linting

This project uses [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) for code linting. You can run ESLint across the code by calling `yarn run lint` from a terminal. Warnings from ESLint show up in the `Errors and Warnings` quick box and you can navigate to them from inside VS Code.

To lint the code as you make changes you can install the [ESLint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint) extension.

### Bundling

To generate a production bundle (without packaging) run the following from a terminal:

```
yarn run bundle
```

To generate a VSIX (installation package) run the following from a terminal:

```
yarn run package
```

## Publishing

### Stable Releases

#### Versioning

GitLens version changes are bucketed into two types:

- `minor`: normal release (new features, enhancements and fixes)
- `patch`: hotfix release (just fixes)

<small>Note: `major` version bumps are only considered for more special circumstances.</small>

#### Preparing

Use the [prep-release](scripts/prep-release.js) script to prepare a new release. The script updates the [package.json](package.json) and [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) appropriately, commits the changes as `Bumps to v<major.minor.patch>`, and creates a `v<major.minor.patch>` tag which when pushed will trigger the CI to publish a release.

1. Ensure you are on a clean working tree
2. Run `yarn run prep-release` and enter the desired version when prompted.
3. Review the `Bumps to v<major.minor.patch>` commit
4. Run `git push --follow-tags` to push the commit and tag

Pushing the `v<major.minor.patch>` tag will trigger the [Publish Stable workflow](.github/workflows/cd-stable.yml) to automatically package the extension, create a [GitHub release](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/releases/latest), and deploy it to the [VS Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens).

If the action fails and retries are unsuccessful, the VSIX can be built locally with `yarn package` and uploaded manually to the marketplace. A GitHub release can also be [created manually](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/releases/new) using `v<major.minor.patch>` as the title and the notes from the [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) with the VSIX attached.

### Pre-releases

The [Publish Pre-release workflow](.github/workflows/cd-pre.yml) is automatically run every AM unless no new changes have been committed to `main`.

### Insiders (deprecated use pre-release instead)

The Publish Insiders workflow is no longer available and was replaced with the pre-release edition.

## Updating GL Icons

To add new icons to the GL Icons font follow the steps below:

- Add new SVG icons to the `images/icons` folder
- Update the `images/icons/mappings.json` file with entries for the new icons (append to the end of the file)
- Optimize and build the icons by running the following from a terminal:

  ```
  yarn run icons:svgo
  yarn run build:icons

  ```

Once you've finshed copy the new `glicons.woff2?<uuid>` URL from `src/webviews/apps/shared/glicons.scss` and search and replace the old references with the new one.
