We would love to get your feedback, thoughts, and overall improvements to govultr!

Overview

• All code should run through go fmt
• All code must be tested
• All types, structs, and funcs must be documented for GoDocs

Getting started

GoVultr supports go modules so you can pull down the repo outside of your $GOPATH.

You can also run: go get -u github.com/vultr/govultr

Testing

We aim to have as much code coverage as possible.

To run tests locally:

go test .

If you want to get more information on your local unit tests. You can run the following:

go test -v -coverprofile cover.out
go tool cover -html=cover.out

Upon opening a pull request we have CodeCov checks to make sure that code coverage meets a minimum requirement. In addition to CodeCov we have Travis CI that will run your unit tests on each pull request as well.

Versioning

GoVultr follows SemVer for versioning. New functionality will result in a increment to the minor version and bug fixes will result in a increment to the patch version.

Releases

Releases of new versions are done as independent pull requests and will be made by the maintainers.
