Contributing to the project

We welcome any kind of contribution to our project. This could be a simple bug report, a thought-out new feature design, or even a code patch.

How to send a patch

We use the same code review site as the Chromium project: http://codereview.chromium.org/

You have several options on how to upload your patch for review:

the web interface (this seems the least convenient option, as you have to prepare a patch manually)
the upload.py Python script (if your working files reside in an SVN checkout)
the git-cl utility (if your working files reside in a GIT-SVN repository). The Chromium Git Code Reviews section gives you a hint or two on how to use git-cl for code reviews.

Using `upload.py` for your patch work

The script assumes that you have your chromedevtools SVN checkout made with the command-line svn (the Eclipse SVN plugin may not work here). See the Source Checkout hint for this project.

1. Make sure you have an account at http://codereview.chromium.org/.

2. Download the upload.py script here.

3. Prepare all your changes as if you were going to run svn commit (e.g. do all the svn add work).

4. Run the upload.py script (make sure it is in your PATH):

upload.py -s codereview.chromium.org

The script will ask you for the name of the patch, your codereview.chromium.org email and password (the latter two get cached). If the command succeeds, you will get a URL of your newly created issue (like http://codereview.chromium.org/1707006).

NB! This issue (== patch under review) is not the same as what is called Issues (== problem reports) on code.google.com.

5. To update your patch (rather than create a new one), run

./upload.py -s codereview.chromium.org -i <issue_number>
