Contributing

Overview

This documents explains the processes and practices recommended for contributing enhancements to the OSM VCA Integrator charm.

• If you would like to chat with us about your use-cases or proposed implementation, you can reach us at Canonical Mattermost public channel or Discourse.
• Familiarising yourself with the Charmed Operator Framework library will help you a lot when working on new features or bug fixes.
• All enhancements require review before being merged. Code review typically examines
  • code quality
  • test coverage
  • user experience for Juju administrators this charm.
• Please help us out in ensuring easy to review branches by rebasing your pull request branch onto the main branch. This also avoids merge commits and creates a linear Git commit history.
