Git Workflow for API and Implementations

Developing the API

The basic process of adding your changes is explained in the Come usare Git(Hub) section. On top of that we suggest that you create your new branch with a meaningful name.With the new branching model you need to be aware which branch you need to base your PRs on and where it should get merged afterwards. Read about the new branching and versioning model here: Versioning System and Repository Branch Layout

Additionally we require that you ensure the module will compile with gradle compileJava. This will run a simple build of the source files. When finished successfully, you can PR your changes to the SpongeAPI repo.

Developing the Implementation

The process for the implementations is almost the same as for the API. You add your changes as described in Come usare Git(Hub). Note that you should give your branches a meaningful name. With the new branching model you need to be aware which branch you need to base your PRs on and where it should get merged afterwards. Read about the new branching and versioning model here: Versioning System and Repository Branch Layout

Run gradle compileJava to check if everything compiles without errors.

Since you are working on the implementation, there is a possibility that your work included changes in the API. This is okay. Just remember to ensure the pointers for the version of the SpongeAPI match the version of your branch prior to committing and pushing. To do this, you may need to add the submodules to the commit (with git add SpongeAPI and/or git add Mixin) prior to committing on your implementation work.

You may open a pull request once your commit is pushed to your fork or the repository.
