============== Contribution

Here's the most direct way to get your work merged into the project.

  1. Fork the project #. Clone down your fork #. Implement your feature or bug fix and commit changes #. If the change fixes a bug at Red Hat bugzilla <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/>_, or if it is important to the end user, add the following block to the commit message::

    = changelog = msg: message to be included in the changelog type: one of: bugfix/enhancement/security (this field is required when message is present) resolves: URLs to bugs or issues resolved by this commit (can be specified multiple times) related: URLs to any related bugs or issues (can be specified multiple times)

    • For example::

      = changelog = msg: [download] Respect repo priority type: bugfix resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1800342

    • For your convenience, you can also use git commit template by running the following command in the top-level directory of this project::
