Contributing to OSCAR software

[netvipec]

Hi, many thanks to OSCAR developers and this big community of ApneaBoard.

I’m trying to add support for my machine to OSCAR, but I’m having problems with one of the contributing steps.

-fork the original repo.
-created my branch
-made my changes
-push


But I’m having problems with mirroring the repo. When I try to configured only Push is selected with no possibility for change.

Someone knows if I can create a merge request from a free gitlab account and forked repo.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

netvipec,

Yes, you can make a merge request from your free GitLab account.

GitLab has changed the mirroring since July 2022 so it no longer works as described in the contributing documentation. GitLab is in the process of rolling out a new change that should make that easier. It is expected to be released by the end of this month.

If you have not already done so, go to the main GitLab page for OSCAR and join the project. Once you have been added to the project you should be able to make merge requests from your fork.

Because of the changes GitLab made you will need to use your clone (local copy) to pull from pholy/master and then push to your fork. From your (GitLab) fork you can then make a merge request using pholy/OSCAR-code as upstream.

The OSCAR Team is always looking for volunteers to help with development. If you are interested in being a regular part of the development team send me a PM with your particular development skills and we can go from there.
