This page describes the practices for developing / contributing to openIDL All commits should correspond to an issue in the GItHub repository. All commits should mention the issue number at the beginning of the commit. Use the format
All pull/merge requests must reference the issue number. |
Pull Requests
All pull requests must be reviewed by someone other than the developer.
All pull requests require DCO - this requires local machine pull signoff and push. Follow directions in the pull request DCO details.
Tagging and Versioning

Manage
Managing the configuration in Git is one of the tenets of the architecture.
The git repository is multi-part. The network administrator manages a reference configuration that is used to set up any of the types of nodes. One There is one reference configuration for each type of node. In the data call app, this there is a Multi-Tenant Node, a Carrier Node and an Analytics Node.
...
Updates to the configuration for a node in git trigger a workflow that can include a consent step for te the node owner before configuration kicks off.
Develop / Build / Test
The Develop / Build / Test phase produces usable artifacts for the Deploy stage.
Developing for openIDL can be done locally. You can create images and save them in your minikube docker or you can just run the particular component out of code.
Configure / Provision / Deploy
The Deploy stage assumes that the assets required (terraform, helm, container images) are all built and properly packaged.
