Contributing

Thanks for helping make the Twitch CLI better!

Design Principles

Contributions to the Twitch CLI should align with the project’s design principles:

  • Maintain backwards compatibility whenever possible. This tool has an opportunity to be used in CI/CD pipelines and breaking changes should be avoided at all costs
  • Use only publicly documented endpoints. We will not accept PRs for functionality that leverages on undocumented endpoints
  • Limit dependencies where possible, so that they are easier to integrate and upgrade

Examples of contributions that should be addressed with high priority:

  • Security updates.
  • Performance improvements.
  • Supporting new versions of key dependencies such as Go or Cobra
  • Documentation

Report an Issue

If you have run into a bug or want to discuss a new feature, please file an issue.

Contributing Code with Pull Requests

The Twitch CLI uses Github pull requests. Fork, hack away at your changes and submit. Most pull requests will go through a few iterations before they get merged. Different contributors will sometimes have different opinions, and often patches will need to be revised before they can get merged.

Requirements

  • The Twitch CLI officially supports Mac, Windows, and Linux Intel-based systems
  • All commands and functionality should be documented appropriately
  • All new functionality/features should have appropriate unit testing

To confirm it will build with these systems, feel free to run make build_all.

The Twitch CLI strives to have a consistent set of documentation that matches the command structure and any new functionality must have accompanying documentation in the PR.

As noted in the README, all commands follow the following structure: twitch <product> <action>. Each product should live within it's own file in the cmd directory, with the applicable actions within it. The logic is then split into the internal directory.

Some commands may not be part of a designated product (for example, the token and version commands) - if you are building functionality that is not tied to a Twitch product, please open the PR to discuss further.

Profiling

The Twitch CLI makes use of pprof for CPU profiling. This can be enabled on any system by setting the environment variable TWITCH_CLI_ENABLE_CPU_PROFILER to true. By default, the CPU profile will be written to your system as cpu.prof when the program exits. This filename can be modified with the environment variable TWITCH_CLI_CPU_PROFILER_FILE.
