Development happens in the GitHub repository. here is a throughput graph of the repository for the last few weeks:
Contribution guidelines
SpaceVim is an effort of all the volunteers, we encourage you to pitch in. The community makes SpaceVim what it is. We have a few guidelines, which we ask all contributors to follow.
You can only consider reading the sections relevant to what you are going to do:
- Asking for help if you are about to open an issue to ask a question.
- Reporting issues if you are about to open a new issue.
- Contributing code if you are about to send a pull-request.
Asking for help
If you want to ask an usage question, be sure to look first into some places as it may hold the answers:
- :h SpaceVim-faq: Some of the most frequently asked questions are answered there.
- SpaceVim documentation: It is the general documentation of SpaceVim.
Reporting issues
Issues have to be reported on issues tracker, Please:
- Check that there is no duplicate issue in the issues tracker, you can search for keywords in the issues tracker.
- Check that the issue has not been fixed in latest version of SpaceVim, please update your SpaceVim, and try to reproduce the bug here.
- Use a clear title and follow the issue template.
- Include details on how to reproduce it, just like a step by step guide.
Contributing code
Code contributions are welcome. Please read the following sections carefully. In any case, feel free to join us on the gitter chat to ask questions about contributing!
License
The license is MIT for all the parts of SpaceVim. this includes:
- The initialization and core files
- All the layer files.
For files not belonging to Spacemacs like local packages and libraries, refer to the header file. Those files should not have an empty header, we may not accept code without a proper header file.
Conventions
SpaceVim is based on conventions, mainly for naming functions, keybindings definition and writing documentation. Please read the conventions before your first contribution to get to know them.
Pull Request
Submit your contribution against the dev branch. You should not use your master branch to modify SpaceVim, this branch is considered to be read-only.
You may want to read our beginner’s guide for Pull Requests.
PR = Pull-Request
Ideally for simple PRs (most of them):
- Branch from
master - One topic per PR
- One commit per PR
- If you have several commits on different topics, close the PR and create one PR per topic
- If you still have several commits, squash them into only one commit
- Rebase your PR branch on top of upstream develop before submitting the PR
Those PRs are usually cherry-picked.
For complex PRs (big refactoring, etc):
Squash only the commits with uninteresting changes like typos, syntax fixes, etc… and keep the important and isolated steps in different commits.
Those PRs are merged and explicitly not fast-forwarded.
Commit messages
Write commit messages according to adapted Tim Pope’s guidelines:
- Use present tense and write in the imperative: “Fix bug”, not “fixed bug” or “fixes bug”.
- Start with a capitalized, short (72 characters or less) summary, followed by a blank line.
- If necessary, add one or more paragraphs with details, wrapped at 72 characters.
- Separate paragraphs by blank lines.
This is a model commit message:
Capitalized, short (72 chars or less) summary
More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Wrap it to about 72
characters or so. In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body. The blank
line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run the
two together.
Write your commit message in the imperative: "Fix bug" and not "Fixed bug"
or "Fixes bug." This convention matches up with commit messages generated
by commands like git merge and git revert.
Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
- Bullet points are okay, too
- Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, followed by a
single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions vary here
- Use a hanging indent
[Gita] provide vim mode for Git commit messages, which helps you to comply to these guidelines.
Contributing a layer
Please read the layers documentation first.
Layer with no associated configuration will be rejected. For instance a layer with just a package and a hook can be easily replaced by the usage of the variable g:spacevim_custom_plugins.
File header
The file header for vim script should look like the following template:
"=============================================================================
" FILENAME --- NAME layer file for SpaceVim
" Copyright (c) 2012-2016 Shidong Wang & Contributors
" Author: YOUR NAME <YOUR EMAIL>
" URL: https://spacevim.org
" License: MIT license
"=============================================================================
You should replace FILENAME by the name of the file (e.g. foo.vim) and NAME by the name of the layer you are creating, don’t forget to replace YOUR NAME and YOUR EMAIL also.
Author of a new layer
In the files header, change the default author name (Shidong Wang) to your name.
here is an example for creating a new layer names foo:
- fork SpaceVim repo
- add a layer file
autoload/SpaceVim/layers/foo.vimforfoolayer. - edit layer file, check out the example below:
"=============================================================================
" foo.vim --- foo Layer file for SpaceVim
" Copyright (c) 2012-2016 Shidong Wang & Contributors
" Author: Shidong Wang < wsdjeg at 163.com >
" URL: https://spacevim.org
" License: MIT license
"=============================================================================

## Description
This layer is for ruby development.
## Installation
### Layer
To use this configuration layer, add `call SpaceVim#layers#load('foo')` to your custom configuration file.
### Other dependences
## Key bindings
- Open
docs/layers/index.md, run:call SpaceVim#dev#layers#update()to update layer list. - send PR to SpaceVim.
Contributor to an existing layer
If you are contributing to an already existing layer, you should not modify any header file.
Contributing a keybinding
Mappings are an important part of SpaceVim.
First if you want to have some personal mappings, This can be done in your ~/.SpaceVim.d/init.vim file.
If you think it worth contributing a new mappings then be sure to read the documentation to find the best mappings, then create a Pull-Request with your changes.
ALWAYS document your new mappings or mappings changes inside the relevant documentation file. It should be the the layer file and the documentation.md.
Language specified key bindings
All language specified key bindings are started with SPC l prefix.
we recommended to keep same language specified key bindings for different languages:
| Key Binding | Description |
|---|---|
| SPC l r | start a runner for current file |
| SPC l e | rename symbol |
| SPC l d | show doc |
| SPC l i r | remove unused imports |
| SPC l i s | sort imports with isort |
| SPC l s i | Start a language specified inferior REPL process |
| SPC l s b | send buffer and keep code buffer focused |
| SPC l s l | send line and keep code buffer focused |
| SPC l s s | send selection text and keep code buffer focused |
All of these above key bindings are just recommended as default, but it also base on the language layer itself.
Contributing a banner
The startup banner is by default the SpaceVim logo but there are also ASCII banners available in the core/banner layer.
If you have some ASCII skills you can submit your artwork!
You are free to choose a reasonable height size but the width size should be around 75 characters.
Build with SpaceVim
SpaceVim provide a lot of public APIs, you can create plugins base on this APIs. also you can add a badge to the README.md of your plugin.
