Code Contribution

This section outlines the steps involved in creating new repositories per lot, the onboarding process for contribution. It ensures a structured and collaborative approach to managing project repositories and contributions. 

  • Define the purpose, scope, and goals of the new repository. 
  • Determine the lot structure, including the specific features, components, or modules to be included in the repository. 
  • Identify potential contributors and committers for the lot. 

Repository Creation:​

  • Create a new repository on GitLab with an appropriate name and description. 
  • Access controls are automatically applied from the project’s list of users (PLs, committers, contributors).
  • As a good practice, we recommend adding the usual legal files, as defined in https://www.eclipse.org/projects/tools/documentation.php 
  • The licence needs to be the one selected for the Eclipse XFSC project, i.e. Apache 2.
  • Submit an issue in the HelpDesk1 to configure any admin-specific repository settings (e.g. branch protection).
