This repository is a collection of packages for the Neos content application platform (learn more on https://www.neos.io/). The repository is used for development and all pull requests should go into it.
If you want to install Neos, please have a look at the documentation: https://neos.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
If you want to contribute to Neos and want to set up a development environment, then follow these steps:
composer create-project neos/neos-development-distribution neos-development 8.2.x-dev --keep-vcs
Note the -distribution repository you create a project from, instead of just checking out this repository.
If you need a different branch, you can either use it from the start (replace the 8.2.x-dev by 9.0.x-dev or whatever you need), or switch after checkout (just make sure to run composer update afterwards to get matching dependencies installed.) In a nutshell, to switch the branch you intend to work on, run:
git checkout 9.0 && composer update
The code of the CMS can then be found inside Packages/Neos, which itself is the neos-development-collection Git repository. You commit changes and create pull requests from this repository.
- To commit changes to Neos switch into the
Neosdirectory (cd Packages/Neos) and do all Git-related work (git add .,git commit, etc) there. - If you want to contribute to the Neos UI, please take a look at the explanations at https://github.com/neos/neos-ui#contributing on how to work with that.
- If you want to contribute to the Flow Framework, you find that inside the
Packages/Frameworkfolder. See https://github.com/neos/flow-development-collection
In the root directory of the development distribution, you can do the following things:
To run tests, run ./bin/phpunit -c ./Build/BuildEssentials/PhpUnit/UnitTests.xml for unit tests or ./bin/phpunit -c ./Build/BuildEssentials/PhpUnit/FunctionalTests.xml for functional/integration tests.
Note
We use an upmerging strategy: create all bugfixes to the lowest maintained branch that contains the issue. Typically, this is the second last LTS release - see the diagram at https://www.neos.io/features/release-process.html.
For new features, pull requests should be made against the branch for the next minor version (named like x.y). Breaking changes must only go into the branch for the next major version.
