Please see Using git with Angular repositories for details about how we maintain a linear commit history, and the rules for committing.
As a contributor, just read the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md and send a pull request. Someone with committer access will do the rest.
We have automated the process for merging pull requests into master. Our goal is to minimize the disruption for Angular committers and also prevent breakages on master.
When a PR is ready to merge, a project member in the CoreTeamMember list (see below) can add the special label,
PR: merge.
A robot running as mary-poppins
is notified that the label was added by an authorized person,
and will create a new branch in the angular project, using the convention presubmit-{username}-pr-{number}.
(Note: if the automation fails, committers can instead push the commits to a branch following this naming scheme.)
When a Travis build succeeds for a presubmit branch named following the convention, Travis will re-base the commits, merge to master, and close the PR automatically.
Finally, after merge mary-poppins removes the presubmit branch.
The list of users who can trigger a merge by adding the label is stored in our appengine app datastore. Edit the contents of the CoreTeamMember Table
