Everyone is welcome to contribute code to FamedlySDK, provided that they are willing to license their contributions under the same license as the project itself. Please follow these rules when contributing code to famedly talk:

Merge Requests:

  • Never ever just push something directly to the master branch!

  • Merge Requests may be refused if they don't follow the rules below.

Branches

Naming

Branches should get named by this pattern: [Module Name]-[Type]-[Detail].

That means for example: "users-fix-attach-roles-issue#765".

Modules are various parts of the App. This can for example be the directory list or the chat room.

Types can be one of these:

  • feature
  • enhance
  • cleanup
  • refactor
  • fix
  • hotfix (should rarely get used)

The Detail part of the pattern should be a short description of what the branch delivers.

Commit Messages

Commit Messages should get written in this pattern: [[Module Name]] [Commit Message]. That means for example: "[users] add fetch users endpoint".

File structure:

  • Every file must be named by the class and must be capitalized in the beginning.
  • Directories need to be lowercase.

Code style:

  • We recommend using Android Studio for coding. We are using the Android Studio auto styling with ctrl+alt+shift+L.

Code quality:
