How to be an Ansible Contributor
• What Do I Know About Ansible? • Read Some Docs • Fork Ansible on Github • Setup Your Development Environment • Read Some Docs… again • Create an Ansible Module • Read Some Docs… again • Read Some Docs… again and again! • Submit a Pull Request • Read Some Docs… again • Sync Your Fork • Delete Your Branch
What Do I Know About Ansible?
What Do I know About Ansible?
• Not that Much … but it's Enough!
• I know how to
– Install Ansible
– Create/Run Ansible playbooks
– Run Ansible in very very very verbose mode
– Write Python Code (can be other languages, python is best)
– Use github.com and git
– Google Stuff

Fork Ansible on Github
Fork Ansible (docs say clone – I say fork)
• Forking a Github repository is – Making a copy of that repository on github under YOUR account – At that point in time – Connected to the original but not updated by the original
• https://github.com/ansible/ansible
– Fork is not a git command and is done in the github.com interface • hub – git from the command line - https://hub.github.com/ • hub is an extension to command-line git do everyday GitHub tasks without ever leaving the
terminal.

Your Fork Their Code
Setup Your Development Environment
Setup Your Development Environment
• Clone YOUR Forked Code NOT the Ansible Code! • Setup a Python Virtual Environment in the ansible
Directory – cd ansible
– python3 -m venv venv
• Activate the Virtual Environment – . venv/bin/activate
• Install the Development Requirements – pip install -r requirements.txt
• Run the Development Environment Setup Script – . hacking/env-setup

Create an Ansible Module
Create an Ansible Module
• Modules should be concise – "Do One Thing Well"
• Modules should not require a user to know all the underlying options
• Modules should encompass much of the logic for interacting with a resource
• Think CRUD (Create / Read / Update / Delete)
Create an Ansible Module
• 'cd' to the desired directory
• Create a new file
• Use the "New module development" Template
• Test the Module – Locally
– Playbook
• Run Sanity Tests
• Create Unit Tests

Submit a Pull Request
Create an Ansible Module – Revised
• 'cd' to the desired directory • Create feature branch • Create a new file • Use the "New module development" Template • Test the Module
– Locally – Playbook
• Run Sanity Tests • Create Unit Tests • Commit and Push YOUR Code to YOUR feature branch
Submit a Pull Request
• Pull Requests can only be submitted against one module
• One feature branch per Pull Request – git checkout -b <feature branch name> Create
– git branch List branches

Submit a Pull Request
Submit a Pull Request
Submit a Pull Request – After the Click
• Automated testing happens
• Your code will probably fail – Fix it – Commit it – Push it
• Automated Testing Happens – You do not need to submit a new Pull Request
Submit a Pull Request – Reviewers
• When your code is "Good" it will be merged… maybe. • There are reviewers and maintainers that need to approve your code
– They will recommend changes – They will hurt your feelings – They will break you! – They will help you be better!
• Make the changes that are requested – Commit it – Push it
• Automated Testing Happens – You do not need to submit a new Pull Request
Submit a Pull Request
• Your Code Passes Tests
• Your Code is marked shipit
• Your Code is Merged
• Wait you're not done yet!
Sync Your Fork
Sync Your Fork git remote add upstream https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
git remote –v what are your remotes
Only need to add the upstream once
git fetch upstream fetch the current ansible/devel
git checkout devel checkout YOUR devel
git merge upstream/devel merge ansible/devel to YOUR devel
git push origin devel push YOUR devel to YOUR Ansible fork
https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/
Delete Your Branch
• git branch -d branch1 <--- locally
• git push origin :branch1 <--- remote
• Do it all over again for your next module
