Contributing to the Microsoft Graph PHP SDK Core

Thanks for considering making a contribution! Read over our guidelines, and we will do our best to see your PRs merged successfully.

NOTE: A signed a contribution license agreement is required for all contributions and is checked automatically on new pull requests. You will be asked to read and sign the agreement https://cla.microsoft.com/ after submitting a request to this repository.

There are a few different recommended paths to get contributions into the released version of this library.

File issues

The best way to get started with a contribution is to start a dialog with us. Sometimes features will be under development or out of scope for this library, and it's best to check before starting work on contribution, especially for large work items.

Commit message format

To support our automated release process, pull requests are required to follow the Conventional Commit format.

Each commit message consists of a header, an optional body and an optional footer. The header is the first line of the commit and MUST have a type (see below for a list of types) and a description. An optional scope can be added to the header to give extra context.

<type>[optional scope]: <short description>
<BLANK LINE>
<optional body>
<BLANK LINE>
<optional footer(s)>

The recommended commit types used are:

feat for feature updates (increments the minor version)
fix for bug fixes (increments the patch version)
perf for performance related changes e.g. optimizing an algorithm
refactor for code refactoring changes
test for test suite updates e.g. adding a test or fixing a test
style for changes that don't affect the meaning of code. e.g. formatting changes
docs for documentation updates e.g. ReadMe update or code documentation updates
build for build system changes (gradle updates, external dependency updates)
ci for CI configuration file changes e.g. updating a pipeline
chore for miscellaneous non-sdk changes in the repo e.g. removing an unused file

Adding a footer with the prefix BREAKING CHANGE: will cause an increment of the major version.

Pull requests

If you are making documentation changes, feel free to submit a pull request against the main branch. All other pull requests should be submitted against the main branch or a specific feature branch. The main branch is intended to represent the code released in the most-recent composer package.

When a new package is about to be released, the release PR will be merged into main. The package will be generated from main.

Some things to note about this project:

How the library is built

The PHP SDK has a handwritten set of core files.

However, this is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If the library is missing v1.0 Graph functionality that you wish to utilize, please file an issue.

We do our best to prevent breaking changes from being introduced into the library during this process. If you find a breaking change, please file an issue and we will work to get this resolved ASAP.
