If you cannot find who to cc for a file, `git shortlog -n -s <file>` may help.

## Labels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### By Subsystem
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We generally sort issues by a concept of "subsystem" so that we know what part(s) of the codebase it touches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Subsystems generally are**:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `lib/*.js`
|
|
|
|
* `doc`, `build`, `tools`, `test`, `deps`, `lib / src` (special), and there may be others.
|
|
|
|
* `meta` for anything non-code (process) related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There may be more than one subsystem valid for any particular issue / PR.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### General
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please use these when possible / appropriate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `confirmed-bug` - Bugs you have verified exist
|
|
|
|
* `discuss` - Things that need larger discussion
|
|
|
|
* `feature request` - Any issue that requests a new feature (usually not PRs)
|
|
|
|
* `good first contribution` - Issues suitable for newcomers to process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `semver-{minor,major}`
|
|
|
|
* be conservative – that is, if a change has the remote *chance* of breaking something, go for semver-major
|
|
|
|
* when adding a semver label, add a comment explaining why you're adding it
|
|
|
|
* minor vs. patch: roughly: "does it add a new method / does it add a new section to the docs"
|
|
|
|
* major vs. everything else: run last versions tests against this version, if they pass, **probably** minor or patch
|
|
|
|
* A breaking change helper ([full source](https://gist.github.com/chrisdickinson/ba532fa0e4e243fb7b44)):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
git checkout $(git show -s --pretty='%T' $(git show-ref -d $(git describe --abbrev=0) | tail -n1 | awk '{print $1}')) -- test; make -j4 test
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Other Labels
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Operating system labels
|
|
|
|
* `os x`, `windows`, `solaris`
|
|
|
|
* No linux, linux is the implied default
|
|
|
|
* Architecture labels
|
|
|
|
* `arm`, `mips`
|
|
|
|
* No x86{_64}, since that is the implied default
|
|
|
|
* `lts-agenda`, `lts-watch-v*`
|
|
|
|
* tag things that should be discussed to go into LTS or should go into a specific LTS branch
|
|
|
|
* (usually only semver-patch things)
|
|
|
|
* will come more naturally over time
|
|
|
|

|
## Updating Node.js from Upstream
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `git remote add upstream git://github.com/nodejs/node.git`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to update from nodejs/node:
|
|
|
|
* `git checkout master`
|
|
|
|
* `git remote update -p` OR `git fetch --all` (I prefer the former)
|
|
|
|
* `git merge --ff-only upstream/master` (or `REMOTENAME/BRANCH`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## If `git am` fails
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* if `git am` fails – use `git am --abort`
|
|
|
|
* this usually means the PR needs updated
|
|
|
|
* prefer to make the originating user update the code, since they have it fresh in mind
|
|
|
|
* first, reattempt with `git am -3` (3-way merge)`
|
|
|
|
* if `-3` still fails, and you need to get it merged:
|
|
|
|
* `git fetch upstream pull/N/head:pr-N && git checkout pr-N && git rebase master`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## best practices
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* commit often, out to your github fork (origin), open a PR
|
|
|
|
* when making PRs make sure to spend time on the description:
|
|
|
|
* every moment you spend writing a good description quarters the amount of time it takes to understand your code.
|
|
|
|
* usually prefer to only squash at the *end* of your work, depends on the change
