Contributing to this starter project

If this is your first time contributing to a GitHub repo, we recommmend going through the GitHub quickstart.

It's a good idea to discuss your plans with the Beam community through the dev@beam.apache.org mailing list before doing any changes.

Here's a small overview of the process.

1. Fork the repo.

2. Clone the repo.

   export GITHUB_USERNAME="my-github-username"
   
   git clone git@github.com:$GITHUB_USERNAME/beam-starter-go.git
   

3. Set the upstream remote branch.

   cd beam-starter-go
   git remote add upstream git@github.com:apache/beam-starter-go.git
   

4. Create and change to a new branch.

   git checkout -B my-branch-name
   

5. Modify the code! 😱

6. Run the tests. For steps on how to run them see the README.md.

7. Commit and push your changes to your branch in origin.

   git commit -m "one line description of your changes"
   git push
   

8. Create a Pull Request.

9. Add reviewers, and address review comments.

10. Once it's approved, we can merge the Pull Request.
