# MinIO Contribution Guide [](https://slack.min.io) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)
|
|
|
|
``MinIO`` community welcomes your contribution. To make the process as seamless as possible, we recommend you read this contribution guide.
|
|
|
|
## Development Workflow
|
|
|
|
Start by forking the MinIO GitHub repository, make changes in a branch and then send a pull request. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes. Here are the steps in details:
|
|
|
|
### Setup your MinIO GitHub Repository
|
|
Fork [MinIO upstream](https://github.com/minio/minio/fork) source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL of your MinIO fork (you will need it for the `git clone` command below).
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/minio/minio
|
|
$ go install -v
|
|
$ ls /go/bin/minio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Set up git remote as ``upstream``
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ cd minio
|
|
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/minio/minio
|
|
$ git fetch upstream
|
|
$ git merge upstream/master
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create your feature branch
|
|
Before making code changes, make sure you create a separate branch for these changes
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git checkout -b my-new-feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Test MinIO server changes
|
|
After your code changes, make sure
|
|
|
|
- To add test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask on our [Slack](https://slack.min.io) channel.
|
|
- To run `make verifiers`
|
|
- To squash your commits into a single commit. `git rebase -i`. It's okay to force update your pull request.
|
|
- To run `make test` and `make build` completes.
|
|
|
|
### Commit changes
|
|
After verification, commit your changes. This is a [great post](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/) on how to write useful commit messages
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git commit -am 'Add some feature'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Push to the branch
|
|
Push your locally committed changes to the remote origin (your fork)
|
|
```
|
|
$ git push origin my-new-feature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Create a Pull Request
|
|
Pull requests can be created via GitHub. Refer to [this document](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/) for detailed steps on how to create a pull request. After a Pull Request gets peer reviewed and approved, it will be merged.

## FAQs
|
|
### How does ``MinIO`` manages dependencies?
|
|
``MinIO`` uses `go mod` to manage its dependencies.
|
|
- Run `go get foo/bar` in the source folder to add the dependency to `go.mod` file.
|
|
|
|
To remove a dependency
|
|
- Edit your code and remove the import reference.
|
|
- Run `go mod tidy` in the source folder to remove dependency from `go.mod` file.
|
|
|
|
### What are the coding guidelines for MinIO?
|
|
``MinIO`` is fully conformant with Golang style. Refer: [Effective Go](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments) article from Golang project. If you observe offending code, please feel free to send a pull request or ping us on [Slack](https://slack.min.io).
