Contributing - listenlink/caffe GitHub Wiki

This is supposed to be a simple checklist to complete before submitting pull requests.

1. Rebasing branch.

A rebase makes sure your current branch modifies the last version of master, read more about it here.

A rebase will change this:

      A---B---C topic
     /
D---E---F---G master

To this:

              A'---B'---C' topic
             /
D---E---F---G master

2. Squashing commits.

A squash combines several commits into one, read more about it here.

A squash will change this:

      A---B---C topic
     /
D---E  master

To this:

      ABC' topic
     /
D---E master

3. Run Checks.

There are two kinds of checks, the first ones are unit tests and the second one is a code formatting test. They are run by:

cd build
make runtest
make lint
