The issues should be raised via the GitHub issue tracker. For Issue tracker guidelines please click here. All fixes should be proposed via pull requests. For pull request guidelines please click here. For commit style guidelines please click here.
We have the following branches :
-
dev All the contributions should be pushed to this branch. If you're making a contribution, you are supposed to make a pull request to dev. Please make sure it passes a build check on Travis.
It is advisable to clone only the development branch using the following command:
git clone -b <branch> <remote_repo>
With Git 1.7.10 and later, add --single-branch to prevent fetching of all branches. Example, with development branch:
git clone -b dev --single-branch https://github.com/username/mobile-wallet.git
-
master The master branch contains all the stable and bug-free working code. The development branch once complete will be merged with this branch.

-
Fork the Git Repository
Forking the repository is the first step to start contributing. Click on the "Fork" button in the top right corner of the Mobile Wallet (Mifos Pay) repository to create your own fork.
Forking creates a copy of the project under your GitHub account. This enables you to work on changes without affecting the original repository directly.
-
Clone the Forked Repository
Once you have forked the repository, you need to clone it to your local development environment. Open a terminal or Git Bash and use the following command:
git clone https://github.com/yourUsername/mobile-wallet.git
Replace
yourUsername
with your actual GitHub username. Cloning creates a local copy of the repository on your machine, allowing you to make changes and contributions. -
Working Locally on Your Cloned Repository
After cloning, navigate to the project directory using the terminal or Git Bash.
Before making any changes, create a new branch dedicated to the feature or bug fix you'll be working on:
git checkout -b "new-branch-name"
Ensure that
new-branch-name
reflects the purpose of your changes (e.g.,add-payment-feature
orfix-bug-123
).Make the necessary changes to the files to address the issue you're working on. Once you're done, you will be ready to proceed with verifying and committing your changes.
-
Perform a Gradle Check
All your pull requests must pass the CI build only then, it will be allowed to merge. Sometimes, when the build doesn't pass you can use these commands in your local terminal and check for the errors,
For Mac OS, you can use the following commands:
./gradlew check
quality checks on your project’s code using Checkstyle and generates reports from these checks../gradlew spotlessApply
an check and apply formatting to any plain-text file../gradlew build
provides a command line to execute build script.
For Windows, you can use the following commands:
gradlew check
quality checks on your project’s code using Checkstyle and generates reports from these checks.gradlew spotlessApply
an check and apply formatting to any plain-text file.gradlew build
provides a command line to execute build script.
When you've finished making your changes and have tested them locally, it's time to commit your work:
-
Stage Changes
Use the following command to stage all changes:
git add .
This adds all modified and new files to the staging area, preparing them for the commit.
-
Commit Changes
Commit your changes with a meaningful commit message that describes the purpose of your changes:
git commit -m "Your commit message goes here"
A good commit message is concise and provides enough context about the changes made. Mifos follows its own commit style guidelines that you must follow. Learn more about it here.
-
Push Changes
Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub:
git push origin new-branch-name
Replace
new-branch-name
with the name of the branch you created earlier.
Once your changes are pushed to your forked repository, you can initiate a pull request to merge your changes into the main project:
- Navigate to the Mobile Wallet (Mifos Pay) repository on GitHub.
- Click on the "Pull Requests" tab and then click "New Pull Request."
- Ensure the base repository is set to "openMF/mobile-wallet" and the base branch is the main development branch
dev
. - Set the compare repository to your forked repository and the compare branch to the branch you just created with your changes (e.g., in my case, the head repository was set to “rchtgpt/mobile-wallet” and the comparison branch was
kotlin-migration-common
. - Fill out the pull request template, providing a clear description of your changes, why they are necessary, and any relevant information for the reviewers.
- Click "Create Pull Request" to submit your changes for review.
It is common for pull requests to undergo multiple rounds of review before being merged. To keep the Git history clean and organized, you should always squash your commits before finalizing the merge. Here's how you can do it:
-
Squash your commits:
git rebase -i HEAD~x
Replace
x
with the number of commits you want to squash. An interactive rebase will open, allowing you to choose how to combine the commits. Changepick
tosquash
(or simplys
) for all but the topmost commit. Save and exit the editor. -
Amend the commit message if needed.
git commit --amend
-
Force push the changes to your forked repository:
git push --force origin your-branch-name
Please note that force pushing rewrites the Git history, so use it with caution.
In some cases, your pull request might encounter merge conflicts when the changes cannot be automatically merged with the main branch. To resolve merge conflicts:
-
Update your local branch with the latest changes from the main repository:
git fetch upstream git checkout your-branch-name git rebase upstream/master
-
Git will pause when encountering conflicts. Open the affected files, resolve the conflicts manually, and save the changes.
-
After resolving all conflicts, stage the changes and continue with the rebase:
git add . git rebase --continue
-
Finally, force push the changes to your forked repository:
git push --force origin your-branch-name
Your pull request will be updated with the resolved conflicts, and the reviewers can proceed with the review process. Again, don’t forget to squash your commits.
By following these contribution guidelines, you're all set to start contributing to the Mobile Wallet (Mifos Pay) project. We appreciate your efforts and look forward to your valuable contributions. Happy coding!
