* CRIU mostly follows [https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst Linux kernel coding style], but we are less strict than the kernel community.

== Make a patch ==
  −
  −
To create a patch, run
  −
  −
    git format-patch --signoff origin/criu-dev
  −
  −
You might need to read GIT documentation on how to prepare patches
  −
for mail submission. Take a look at http://book.git-scm.com/ and/or
  −
http://git-scm.com/documentation for details. It should not be hard
  −
at all.
  −
  −
We recommend to post patches using <code>git send-email</code>
  −
   
  −
  git send-email --cover-letter --no-chain-reply-to --annotate \
  −
                --confirm=always --to=criu@openvz.org criu-dev
  −
  −
Note that the <code>git send-email</code> subcommand may not be in
  −
the main git package and using it may require installation of a
  −
separate package, for example the "git-email" package in Fedora and
  −
Debian.
  −
  −
If this is your first time using git send-email, you might need to
  −
configure it to point it to your SMTP server with something like:
  −
  −
    git config --global sendemail.smtpServer stmp.example.net
  −
  −
If you get tired of typing <code>--to=criu@openvz.org</code> all the time,
  −
you can configure that to be automatically handled as well:
  −
  −
    git config sendemail.to criu@openvz.org
  −
  −
If a developer is sending another version of the patch (e.g. to address
  −
review comments), they are advised to note differences to previous versions
  −
after the <code>---</code> line in the patch so that it helps reviewers but
  −
doesn't become part of git history. Moreover, such patch needs to be prefixed
  −
correctly with <code>--subject-prefix=PATCHv2</code> appended to
  −
<code>git send-email</code> (substitute <code>v2</code> with the correct
  −
version if needed though).

We accept github pull requests and this is the preferred way to contribute to CRIU.
 +
For that you should push your work to your fork of CRIU at [https://github.com GitHub] and create a [https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests pull request]
 +
 
 +
Historically, CRIU worked with mailing lists and patches so if you still prefer this way continue reading till the end of this section.

=== Mail patches ===
    
The patches should be sent to CRIU development mailing list, <code>criu AT openvz.org</code>. Note that you need to be subscribed first in order to post. The list web interface is available at https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/criu; you can also use standard mailman aliases to work with it.
