Time to make a change?

Every change must be submitted through a GitHub pull request (PR). OptaPlanner uses continuous integration (CI). The OptaPlanner CI runs checks against your branch after you submit the PR to ensure that your PR doesn’t introduce errors. If the CI identifies a potential problem, our friendly PR maintainers will help you resolve it.

  2. Create your feature branch: (git checkout -b feature).

  3. Commit your changes with a comment: (git commit -am 'Add some feature').

Code standards

Your code is automatically formatted according to the Import and Code Style conventions during every Maven build. CI checks enforce those conventions too, so be sure to build your project with maven before creating your PR:

mvn clean install

For information about how to set up code style checks, see IDE Setup Instructions.
