## Can I create a pull request for Uptime Kuma?
Yes or no, it depends on what you will try to do. Since I don't want to waste your time, be sure to **create an empty draft pull request or open an issue, so we can have a discussion first**. Especially for a large pull request or you don't know if it will be merged or not.
Yes or no, it depends on what you will try to do.
Both your and our maintainers time is precious, and we don't want to waste both time.

If you have any questions about any process/.. is not clear, you are likely not alone => please ask them ^^
### ✅ Usually accepted
Different guidelines exist for different types of pull requests (PRs):
- <details><summary><b>security fixes</b></summary>
<p>
- Bug fix
- Security fix
- Adding notification providers
- Adding new language files (see [these instructions](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/src/lang/README.md))
- Adding new language keys: `$t("...")`
Submitting security fixes is something that may put the community at risk.
Please read through our [security policy](SECURITY.md) and submit vulnerabilities via an [advisory](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/security/advisories/new) + [issue](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/issues/new?assignees=&labels=help&template=security.md) instead.
We encourage you to submit how to fix a vulnerability if you know how to, this is not required.
Following the security policy allows us to properly test, fix bugs.
This review allows us to notice, if there are any changes necessary to unrelated parts like the documentation.
[**PLEASE SEE OUR SECURITY POLICY.**](SECURITY.md)
### ⚠️ Discussion required
</p>
</details>
- <details><summary><b>small, non-breaking bug fixes</b></summary>
<p>
- Large pull requests
- New features
If you come across a bug and think you can solve, we appreciate your work.
Please make sure that you follow by these rules:
- keep the PR as small as possible, fix only one thing at a time => keeping it reviewable
- test that your code does what you came it does.
### ❌ Won't be merged
<sub>Because maintainer time is precious junior maintainers may merge uncontroversial PRs in this area.</sub>
</p>
</details>
- <details><summary><b>translations / internationalisation (i18n)</b></summary>
<p>
- A dedicated PR for translating existing languages (see [these instructions](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/src/lang/README.md))
- Do not pass the auto-test
- Any breaking changes
- Duplicated pull requests
- Buggy
- UI/UX is not close to Uptime Kuma
- Modifications or deletions of existing logic without a valid reason.
- Adding functions that is completely out of scope
- Converting existing code into other programming languages
- Unnecessarily large code changes that are hard to review and cause conflicts with other PRs.
We use weblate to localise this project into many languages.
If you are unhappy with a translation this is the best start.
On how to translate using weblate, please see [these instructions](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/src/lang/README.md).
The above cases may not cover all possible situations.
There are two cases in which a change cannot be done in weblate and requires a PR:
- A text may not be currently localisable. In this case, **adding a new language key** via `$t("languageKey")` might be nessesary
- language keys need to be **added to `en.json`** to be visible in weblate. If this has not happened, a PR is appreciated.
- **Adding a new language** requires a new file see [these instructions](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/blob/master/src/lang/README.md)
I ([@louislam](https://github.com/louislam)) have the final say. If your pull request does not meet my expectations, I will reject it, no matter how much time you spent on it. Therefore, it is essential to have a discussion beforehand.

- <details><summary><b>new notification providers</b></summary>
<p>
To set up a new notification provider these files need to be modified/created:
- `server/notification-providers/PROVIDER_NAME.js` is where the heart of the notification provider lives.
- Both `monitorJSON` and `heartbeatJSON` can be `null` for some events.
If both are `null`, this is a general testing message, but if just `heartbeatJSON` is `null` this is a certificate expiry.
- Please wrap the axios call into a
```js
try {
let result = await axios.post(...);
if (result.status === ...) ...
} catch (error) {
this.throwGeneralAxiosError(error);
}
```
- `server/notification.js` is where the backend of the notification provider needs to be registered.
*If you have an idea how we can skip this step, we would love to hear about it ^^*
- `src/components/NotificationDialog.vue` you need to decide if the provider is a regional or a global one and add it with a name to the respective list
- `src/components/notifications/PROVIDER_NAME.vue` is where the frontend of each provider lives.
Please make sure that you have:
- used `HiddenInput` for secret credentials
- included all the necessary helptexts/placeholder/.. to make sure the notification provider is simple to setup for new users.
- include all translations (`{{ $t("Translation key") }}`, [`i18n-t keypath="Translation key">`](https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/guide/advanced/component.html)) in `src/lang/en.json` to enable our translators to translate this
- `src/components/notifications/index.js` is where the frontend of the provider needs to be registered.
*If you have an idea how we can skip this step, we would love to hear about it ^^*
Offering notifications is close to the core of what we are as an uptime monitor.
Therefore, making sure that they work is also really important.
Because testing notification providers is quite time intensive, we mostly offload this onto the person contributing a notification provider.
To make shure you have tested the notification provider, please include screenshots of the following events in the pull-request description:
- `UP`/`DOWN`
- Certificate Expiry via https://expired.badssl.com/
- Testing (the test button on the notification provider setup page)
Using the following way to format this is encouraged:
```md
| Event | Before | After |
------------------
| `UP` | paste-image-here | paste-image-here |
| `DOWN` | paste-image-here | paste-image-here |
| Certificate-expiry | paste-image-here | paste-image-here |
| Testing | paste-image-here | paste-image-here |
```

</details>
- <details><summary><b>new monitoring types</b></summary>
<p>
To set up a new notification provider these files need to be modified/created:
- `server/monitor-types/MONITORING_TYPE.js` is the core of each monitor.
the `async check(...)`-function should:
- throw an error for each fault that is detected with an actionable error message
- in the happy-path, you should set `heartbeat.msg` to a successfull message and set `heartbeat.status = UP`
- `server/uptime-kuma-server.js` is where the monitoring backend needs to be registered.
*If you have an idea how we can skip this step, we would love to hear about it ^^*
- `src/pages/EditMonitor.vue` is the shared frontend users interact with.
Please make sure that you have:
- used `HiddenInput` for secret credentials
- included all the necessary helptexts/placeholder/.. to make sure the notification provider is simple to setup for new users.
- include all translations (`{{ $t("Translation key") }}`, [`i18n-t keypath="Translation key">`](https://vue-i18n.intlify.dev/guide/advanced/component.html)) in `src/lang/en.json` to enable our translators to translate this

- <details><summary><b>new features/ major changes / breaking bugfixes</b></summary>
<p>
be sure to **create an empty draft pull request or open an issue, so we can have a discussion first**.
This is especially important for a large pull request or you don't know if it will be merged or not.
<sub>Because of the large impact of this work, only senior maintainers may merge PRs in this area.</sub>
</p>
</details>
The following rules are essential for making your PR mergable:
- Merging multiple issues by a huge PR is more difficult to review and causes conflicts with other PRs. Please
- (if possible) **create one PR for one issue** or
- (if not possible) **explain which issues a PR addresses and why this PR should not be broken apart**
- Make sure your **PR passes our continuous integration**.
PRs will not be merged unless all CI-Checks are green.
- **Breaking changes** (unless for a good reason and discussed beforehand) will not get merged / not get merged quickly.
Such changes require a major version release.
- **Test your code** before submitting a PR.
Buggy PRs will not be merged.
- Make sure the **UI/UX is close to Uptime Kuma**.
- **Think about the maintainability**:
Don't add functionality that is completely **out of scope**.
Keep in mind that we need to be able to maintain the functionality.
- Don't modify or delete existing logic without a valid reason.
- Don't convert existing code into other programming languages for no reason.
I ([@louislam](https://github.com/louislam)) have the final say.
If your pull request does not meet my expectations, I will reject it, no matter how much time you spent on it.
Therefore, it is essential to have a discussion beforehand.
I will assign your pull request to a [milestone](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/milestones), if I plan to review and merge it.
