Code Review

Onboarding Process

  • Review the project's contribution guidelines and code of conduct.
  • Set up the development environment as per project requirements.
  • Fork the repository to their personal space on Eclipse’s GitLab. 
  • Clone the repository to their local machine.
  • Create a new branch for their contributions.
  • Submit a merge request (MR, aka PR on GitLab) for their changes. 
  • Engage publicly in discussions and revisions as needed. 
  • Once the MR is approved, their contributions are merged into the repository by a committer. 
  • New contributors may be assigned a mentor for guidance and support. 

Work Stream 

  • Contributors work on their assigned features, components, or modules within the repository. 
  • Maintain an active, public communication channel for contributors to collaborate and seek assistance (e.g., mailing list of GitLab’s issues). 
  • Regularly update the repository with new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
