* Add warning to Helm Intellisense recommendation

* Link code conventions in PR guidelines

* Tighten debugd README

* cmake is not used for building debugd anymore, remove references to it

Pull Request (PR)

Process

Submissions should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits. For pull requests, we employ the following workflow:

  1. Fork the repository to your own GitHub account
  2. Create a branch locally with a descriptive name
  3. Commit changes to the branch
  4. Write your code according to our development guidelines
  5. Push changes to your fork
  6. Clean up your commit history
  7. Open a PR in our repository and summarize the changes in the description

Major changes and feature requests

You should discuss larger changes and feature requests with the maintainers. Please open an issue describing your plans.

Run CI e2e tests

Conventions

Title

Our changelog is generated from PR titles, so please stick to the naming convention.

The PR title should be structured in one of the following ways:

<module>: <title>

Where the <module> is

  • the top level directory of the microservice or component, e.g., joinservice, disk-mapper, upgrade-agent but also docs and rfc
  • in internal, the second level directory
  • deps for dependency upgrades
  • ci for things that are CI related

and <title> is all lower case (except proper names, including acronyms). Ticket numbers shouldnt be part of the title.

In case the scope of your PR is too wide, use the alternative format.

<Title>

and <Title> starts with a capital letter.

Labels

The labels are used for changelog generation (targeted at constellation users), so select the label with this purpose in mind. To exclude the PR from changelog only use these labels:

  • no changelog / dependencies

The changelog generation is described here. This is our configuration release.yml.
