1 Closure Library welcomes patches/pulls for features and bugfixes. 2 3 For contributors inside Google, follow the instructions given here: 4 http://go/closure-contributors 5 6 For contributors external to Google, follow the instructions given here: 7 8 Notes on Contributions to Closure Library 9 10 Google Individual Contributor License 11 12 In all cases, contributors must sign a contributor license agreement, 13 either for an individual or corporation, before a patch can be 14 accepted. Please fill out the agreement for an individual or a 15 corporation, as appropriate. 16 17 https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual 18 https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate 19 20 If you or your organization is not listed there already, you should 21 add an entry to the AUTHORS file as part of your patch. 22 23 If you plan to add a significant component or large chunk of code, it 24 is recommended to bring it up on the discussion list for a design 25 discussion before writing code. 26 27 If appropriate, write a unit test that demonstrates your patch. Tests are the 28 best way to ensure that future contributors do not break your code 29 accidentally. 30 31 To change the Closure Library source, you must submit a pull request 32 in GitHub. See the GitHub documentation here: 33 34 https://help.github.com/categories/63/articles 35 36 Closure Library developers monitor outstanding pull requests. They may 37 request changes on the pull request before accepting. They will also 38 verify that the CLA has been signed. 39 40 Oftentimes, the pull request will not be directly merged, but patched to 41 the internal Google codebase to verify that unit and integration tests 42 will Closure pass before submitting (and optionally make changes to 43 the patch to match style, fix text, or to make the code or comments 44 clearer). In this case, the issue associated with the pull request 45 will be closed when the patch pushed to the repository via the MOE 46 (Make Open Easy) system. 47 48 https://code.google.com/p/moe-java/
