Submit a Pull Request

Each Pull Request will be checked against the following rules:

• cla/signed - all commit authors need to sign a CLA. This can be done using our CLA sign form.
• commit/whitespace - all changed files cannot contain TABs inside them. Before doing any work we suggest executing our git_setup.cmd. This will install a git pre-commit hook that will normalize all whitespaces during commits.
• commit/message/conventions - all commit messages (except in merge commits) must contain an issue number from our YouTrack e.g. 'RavenDB-1234 Fixed issue with something'
• tests - this executes build.cmd Test on our CI to check if no constraints were violated
