The text below explains the rules for participating in Org mode development.

Org maintenance

Org maintenance is detailed on Worg: see org-maintenance.

Main contribution rules

  1. The master git repository is hosted publicly on savannah.gnu.org. 

    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git

    This is sufficient to start hacking and to produce patches that can easily and consistently be applied to the main repository.

  2. People who want to participate to the Org mode development can send patches to this address: 

    emacs-orgmode@gnu.org

  3. If you are a regular contributor, you can request push access to the repository by creating an account on savannah.gnu.org and by joining the Emacs group.

    After you have been added as a user with push privileges, you can clone the repository like this: 

    git clone USERNAME@git.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/git/emacs/org-mode.git

    Replace USERNAME with your Savannah username.

  4. By requesting push access, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed with the following rules:

    • Org mode is part of GNU Emacs. Therefore, we need to be very conscious about changes moving into the Org mode core. These can originate only from people who have signed the appropriate papers with the Free Software Foundation. The files to which this applies are:

      • all *.el files in the lisp directory of the repository

      • orgcard.tex and all *.org files in the doc/ directory

    • Before making any significant changes, please explain and discuss them on the mailing list emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.

      This does obviously not apply to people who are maintaining their own contributions to Org mode. Please just use the new mechanism to make sure all changes end up in the right place.

      We value a nice tone in our discussions: please check and respect the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines.

    • Org mode no longer uses ChangeLog entries to document changes. Instead, special commit messages are used. The commit message format generally follows Emacs conventions, as described in the `CONTRIBUTE' file in the main Emacs repository. Several more Org-specific conventions are described in worg/org-contribute#commit-messages.

    • Among other things, Org mode is widely appreciated because of its simplicity, cleanness and consistency. We should try to preserve them and ask everyone to keep this in mind when posting changes.

See worg/org-contribute for guidance on how to contribute effectively.
