I invite you to a tour of pointers to
get into the usable configuration mangament system, cdist.</p><p>The first thing to know is probably that cdist is brought to
you by people who care about how code looks like and who think
twice before merging or implementing a feature: Less features
with good usability are far better than the opposite.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_reporting_bugs"></a>3. REPORTING BUGS</h2></div></div></div><p>If you believe youve found a bug and verified that it is
in the latest version, drop a mail to the cdist mailing list,
subject prefixed with "[BUG] " or create an issue on github.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_coding_conventions_everywhere"></a>4. CODING CONVENTIONS (EVERYWHERE)</h2></div></div></div><p>If something should be better done or needs to fixed, add the word FIXME

everybody using cdist, youre welcome to propose inclusion into upstream.</p><p>There are though some requirements to ensure your changes dont break others
work nor kill the authors brain:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
All files should contain the usual header (Author, Copying, etc.)
</li><li class="listitem">
Code submission must be done via git
</li><li class="listitem">
Do not add cdist/conf/manifest/init - This file should only be touched in your
private branch!
</li><li class="listitem">
Code to be included should be branched of the upstream "master" branch
</li><li class="listitem">
Exception: Bugfixes to a version branch
</li><li class="listitem">
On a merge request, always name the branch I should pull from
</li><li class="listitem">
Always ensure <span class="strong"><strong>all</strong></span> manpages build. Use <span class="strong"><strong>./build man</strong></span> to test.
</li><li class="listitem">
If you developed more than <span class="strong"><strong>one</strong></span> feature, consider submitting them in
separate branches. This way one feature can already be included, even if
the other needs to be improved.
</li></ul></div><p>As soon as your work meets these requirements, write a mail
for inclusion to the mailinglist <span class="strong"><strong>cdist at cdistatl.schottelius.org</strong></span>
or open a pull request at <a class="ulink" href="http://github.com/telmich/cdist" target="_top">http://github.com/telmich/cdist</a>.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_how_to_submit_a_new_type"></a>6. HOW TO SUBMIT A NEW TYPE</h2></div></div></div><p>For detailled information about types, see cdist-type(7).</p><p>Submitting a type works as described above, with the additional requirement
that a corresponding manpage named man.text in asciidoc format with
the manpage-name "cdist-type__NAME" is included in the type directory
AND asciidoc is able to compile it (i.e. do NOT have to many "=" in the second
line).</p><p>Warning: Submitting "exec" or "run" types that simply echo their parameter in
gencode* will not be accepted, because they are of no use. Every type can output
code and thus such a type introduces redundant functionality that is given by
core cdist already.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_example_git_workflow"></a>7. EXAMPLE GIT WORKFLOW</h2></div></div></div><p>The following workflow works fine for most developers:</p><pre class="screen"># get latest upstream master branch
git clone https://github.com/telmich/cdist.git
# update if already existing
cd cdist; git fetch -v; git merge origin/master
# create a new branch for your feature/bugfix
cd cdist # if you haven't done before
git checkout -b documentation_cleanup
# *hack*
*hack*
# clone the cdist repository on github if you haven't done so
# configure your repo to know about your clone (only once)
git remote add github git@github.com:YOURUSERNAME/cdist.git
# push the new branch to github
git push github documentation_cleanup
# (or everything)
git push --mirror github
# create a pull request at github (use a browser)
# *fixthingsbecausequalityassurancefoundissuesinourpatch*
*hack*
# push code to github again
git push ... # like above
# add comment that everything should be green now (use a browser)
# go back to master branch
git checkout master
# update master branch that includes your changes now
git fetch -v origin
git diff master..origin/master
git merge origin/master</pre><p>If at any point you want to go back to the original master branch, you can
use <span class="strong"><strong>git stash</strong></span> to stash your changes away:</p><pre class="screen"># assume you are on documentation_cleanup
git stash
# change to master and update to most recent upstream version
git checkout master
git fetch -v origin
git merge origin/master</pre><p>Similar when you want to develop another new feature, you go back
to the master branch and create another branch based on it:</p><pre class="screen"># change to master and update to most recent upstream version
git checkout master
git fetch -v origin
git merge origin/master
git checkout -b another_feature</pre><p>(you can repeat the code above for as many features as you want to develop
in parallel)</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_see_also"></a>8. SEE ALSO</h2></div></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
