Source code for web tools

The University's Software Engineering team has a number of internally-developed web tools and libraries mirrored on GitHub. Some of these are fully open source under the ISC license, whereas others are only available to staff and students. The reason we've done this is to hopefully provide some interest to the wider Warwick community, and allow technical teams around Warwick to potentially contribute to the development of internal web tools, should they wish to do so - we do not expect this to happen often.

Update, March 2021

Internally developed web systems where the source was previously publicly available are now only available for members of the University, by authenticating to the on-premise GitHub Enterprise Server instance at https://github.warwick.ac.uk.

License

Unless specified otherwise (usually in a LICENSE file at the root of the project), all code is released under the ISC license, a permissive license lets people do anything with the code with proper attribution and without warranty. The ISC license is functionally equivalent to the BSD 2-Clause and MIT licenses, removing some language that is no longer necessary.

Contributing

If you're looking to contribute to one of the web tools or libraries, we're happy to accept them, though please get in touch with us first so you're not working on something that we're already working on internally or have plans to do so, and that we agree belongs in the product. You can drop us an email using the Page contact link at the bottom of the page or by emailing M dot Mannion at warwick dot ac dot uk - please don't use this route for general support calls.

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that we might not want to merge into the project.

Please adhere to the coding guidelines used throughout the project (indentation, accurate comments, etc.) and any other requirements (such as test coverage).

Adhering to the following process is the best way to get your work included in the project:

Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.warwick.ac.uk/<your-username>/<project-name>.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <project-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.warwick.ac.uk/Software-Engineering/<project-name>.git

If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
```
git checkout develop
git pull upstream develop
```
Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix:
```
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
```
Commit your changes in logical chunks. Use Git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.
Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
```
git pull [--rebase] upstream develop
```
Push your topic branch up to your fork:
```
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
```
Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description against the develop branch.

IMPORTANT: By submitting a patch, you agree to allow the project owners to license your work under the terms of the project's license.
