| # How to Contribute |
| |
| We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are |
| just a few small guidelines you need to follow. |
| |
| ## Contributor License Agreement |
| |
| Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License |
| Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; |
| this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as |
| part of the project. Head over to <https://cla.developers.google.com/> to see |
| your current agreements on file or to sign a new one. |
| |
| You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted one |
| (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it |
| again. |
| |
| ## Code reviews |
| |
| All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We |
| use a [Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com) instance hosted at |
| https://chromium-review.googlesource.com for this purpose. See the |
| [WebM Project page](https://www.webmproject.org/code/contribute/submitting-patches/) |
| for additional details. |
| |
| ## Code Style |
| |
| The C++ code style is based on the |
| [Google C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html) and |
| `clang-format --style=Google`. `clang-format -i --style=file` can be used to |
| format individual files, it will use the settings from `.clang-format`. |
| |
| CMake files are formatted with |
| [cmake-format](https://cmake-format.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). `cmake-format |
| -i` can be used to format individual files, it will use the settings from |
| `.cmake-format.py`. |
| |
