Contributing

The saltext-splunk project welcomes contributions from anyone!

The Salt Extensions guide provides comprehensive instructions on all aspects of Salt extension development, including writing tests, running tests, writing documentation and rendering the docs.

Quickstart

To get started contributing, first clone this repository (or your fork):

# Clone the repo
git clone --origin upstream [e-mail]:salt-extensions/saltext-splunk.git

# Change to the repo dir
cd saltext-splunk

Automatic

If you have installed direnv, allowing the project's .envrc ensures a proper development environment is present and the virtual environment is active.

Without direnv, you can still run the automation explicitly:

python3 tools/initialize.py
source .venv/bin/activate

Manual

Please follow the first steps, skipping the repository initialization and first commit.

Pull request

Always make changes in a feature branch:

git switch -c my-feature-branch

To submit a Pull Request, you'll need a fork of this repository in your own GitHub account. If you followed the instructions above, set your fork as the origin remote now:

git remote add origin [e-mail]:<your_fork>.git

Ensure you followed the first steps and commit your changes, fixing any failing pre-commit hooks. Then push the feature branch to your fork and submit a PR.
