Package designed to run long-running tasks in a cluster.

If you'd like to add new exported APIs, please open an issue describing your proposal — discussing API changes ahead of time makes pull request review much smoother. In your issue, pull request, and any other communications, please remember to treat your fellow contributors with respect!

Fork, then clone the repository:

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/monetha
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/monetha
git clone [email protected]:your_github_username/go-distributed.git
cd go-distributed
git remote add upstream https://github.com/monetha/go-distributed.git
git fetch upstream

Install dependencies:

make dependencies

Make sure that the tests and the linters pass:

make test
make lint

Start by creating a new branch for your changes:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/monetha/go-distributed
git checkout master
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
git checkout -b cool_new_feature

Make your changes, then ensure that make lint and make test still pass. If you're satisfied with your changes, push them to your fork.

git push origin cool_new_feature

Then use the GitHub UI to open a pull request.

At this point, you're waiting on us to review your changes. We try to respond to issues and pull requests within a few business days, and we may suggest some improvements or alternatives. Once your changes are approved, one of the project maintainers will merge them.

We're much more likely to approve your changes if you:

• Add tests for new functionality.
• Write a good commit message.
• Maintain backward compatibility.
