Getting Started
---------------
-+ Make sure you have a [JIRA account](https://issues.apache.org/jira/).
+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free).
+ If you're planning to implement a new feature, it makes sense to discuss your changes
on the [dev list][ml-list]] first.

+ Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports.
If you feel the source code should be reformatted, create a separate PR for this change.
+ Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
-+ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the JIRA issue.
-```
-[MDEPLOY-XXX] - Subject of the JIRA Ticket
- Optional supplemental description.
-```
+ Make sure you have added the necessary tests (JUnit/IT) for your changes.
+ Run all the tests with `mvn -Prun-its verify` to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
+ Submit a pull request to the repository in the Apache organization.
-+ Update your JIRA ticket and include a link to the pull request in the ticket.
If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement][cla].
-Making Trivial Changes
-----------------------
-
-For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always
-necessary to create a new ticket in JIRA. In this case, it is appropriate to
-start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of a ticket number.
