Prior to contributing to Composer, you must use be able to run the tests. To achieve this, you must use the sources and not the phar file.
- Run
git clone https://github.com/composer/composer.git
- Download the
composer.phar
executable - Run Composer to get the dependencies:
cd composer && php ../composer.phar install
You can now run Composer by executing the bin/composer
script: php /path/to/composer/bin/composer
All code contributions - including those of people having commit access - must go through a pull request and approved by a core developer before being merged. This is to ensure proper review of all the code.
Fork the project, create a feature branch, and send us a pull request.
To ensure a consistent code base, you should make sure the code follows the Coding Standards which we borrowed from Symfony.
