CONTRIBUTING.md - boringssl - Git at Google

 Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end).

 ### Before you contribute
 Before we can use your code, you must sign the
 [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
 (CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
 copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
 codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
 need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
 know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
 the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
 approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
 Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
 us first via email with your idea so that we can help out and possibly guide
 you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid frustration later on.

 ### Code reviews
 All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
 use [Gerrit](https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com) for this purpose.

 #### Setup
 If you have not done so on this machine, you will need to set up a password for
 Gerrit. Sign in with a Google account, visit
 [this link](https://boringssl.googlesource.com/), and click the "Generate
 Password" link in the top right. You must also have a Gerrit account associated with
 your Google account.  To do this visit the [Gerrit review server](https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com)
 and click "Sign in" (top right).
 You will also need to prepare your checkout to
 [add Change-Ids](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/cmd-hook-commit-msg.html)
 on commit. Run:

     curl -Lo .git/hooks/commit-msg https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
     chmod u+x .git/hooks/commit-msg

 #### Uploading changes
 To upload a change, push it to the special `refs/for/master` target:

     git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

 The output will then give you a link to the change. Add `agl@google.com`,
 `davidben@google.com`, and `bbe@google.com` as reviewers.

 Pushing a commit with the same Change-Id as an existing change will upload a new
 version of it. (Use the `git rebase` or `git commit --amend` commands.)

 For more detailed instructions, see the
 [Gerrit User Guide](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/intro-user.html).

 ### The small print
 Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than
 the one above, the
 [Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate).
