Contributing

Setup your machine

alist is written in Go and React.

Prerequisites:

Clone alist and alist-web anywhere:

$ git clone https://github.com/alist-org/alist.git
$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/alist-org/alist-web.git

You should switch to the main branch for development.

Preview your change

backend

$ go run main.go

frontend

$ pnpm dev

Add a new driver

Copy drivers/template folder and rename it, and follow the comments in it.

Create a commit

Commit messages should be well formatted, and to make that "standardized".

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

The header is mandatory and the scope of the header is optional.

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer than 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.

Revert

If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert: , followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: This reverts commit <hash>., where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.

Type

Must be one of the following:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing or correcting existing tests
  • build: Affects project builds or dependency modifications
  • revert: Restore the previous commit
  • ci: Continuous integration of related file modifications
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
  • release: Release a new version

Scope

The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. For example $location, $browser, $compile, $rootScope, ngHref, ngClick, ngView, etc...

You can use * when the change affects more than a single scope.

Subject

The subject contains succinct description of the change:

  • use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
  • don't capitalize first letter
  • no dot (.) at the end

Body

Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes". The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.

Footer

The footer should contain any information about Breaking Changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit closes.

Breaking Changes should start with the word BREAKING CHANGE: with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.

Submit a pull request

Push your branch to your alist fork and open a pull request against the main branch.
