# Development

Start by forking the dolphinscheduler GitHub repository, make changes in a branch and then send a pull request.

## Set up your dolphinscheduler GitHub Repository

There are three branches in the remote repository currently:
  - `master` : normal delivery branch. After the stable version is released, the code for the stable version branch is merged into the master branch.
            
  - `dev` : daily development branch. The daily development branch, the newly submitted code can pull requests to this branch.
  
  - `x.x.x-release` : the stable release version.

So, you should fork the `dev` branch.

After forking the [dolphinscheduler upstream source repository](https://github.com/apache/dolphinscheduler/fork) to your personal repository, you can set your  personal development environment.

```sh
$ cd <your work direcotry>
$ git clone < your personal forked dolphinscheduler repo>
$ cd dolphinscheduler
```

## Set git remote as ``upstream``

Add remote repository address, named upstream

```sh
git remote add upstream https://github.com/apache/dolphinscheduler.git
```

View repository:

```sh
git remote -v
```

There will be two repositories at this time: origin (your own warehouse) and upstream (remote repository)

Get/update remote repository code (already the latest code, skip it).


```sh
git fetch upstream
```

Synchronize remote repository code to local repository

```sh
git checkout origin/dev
git merge --no-ff upstream/dev
```

If remote branch has a new branch `DEV-1.0`, you need to synchronize this branch to the local repository.

```
git checkout -b dev-1.0 upstream/dev-1.0
git push --set-upstream origin dev-1.0
```

## Create your feature branch
Before making code changes, make sure you create a separate branch for them.

```sh
$ git checkout -b <your-feature>
```

## Commit changes
After modifying the code locally, submit it to your own repository:

```sh

git commit -m 'information about your feature'
```

## Push to the branch


Push your locally committed changes to the remote origin (your fork).

```
$ git push origin <your-feature>
```

## Create a pull request

After submitting changes to your remote repository, you should click on the new pull request On the following github page.

</p>


Select the modified local branch and the branch to merge past to create a pull request.

Next, the administrator is responsible for **merging** to complete the pull request.
