rebar
=====
rebar is an Erlang build tool that makes it easy to compile and
test Erlang applications, port drivers and releases.
[](http://travis-ci.org/basho/rebar)
rebar is a self-contained Erlang script, so it's easy to distribute or even
embed directly in a project. Where possible, rebar uses standard Erlang/OTP
conventions for project structures, thus minimizing the amount of build
configuration work. rebar also provides dependency management, enabling
application writers to easily re-use common libraries from a variety of
locations (git, hg, etc).
Building
--------
Information on building and installing [Erlang/OTP](http://www.erlang.org)
can be found [here](https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Installation)
([more info](https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/master/INSTALL.md)).
### Dependencies
To build rebar you will need a working installation of Erlang R13B03 (or
later).
Should you want to clone the rebar repository, you will also require git.
#### Downloading
You can download a pre-built binary version of rebar from:
https://github.com/basho/rebar/wiki/rebar
#### Building rebar
```sh
$ git clone git://github.com/basho/rebar.git
$ cd rebar
$ ./bootstrap
Recompile: src/getopt
...
Recompile: src/rebar_utils
==> rebar (compile)
Congratulations! You now have a self-contained script called "rebar" in
your current working directory. Place this script anywhere in your path
and you can use rebar to build OTP-compliant apps.
```
Contributing to rebar
=====================
Pull requests and branching
---------------------------
Use one topic branch per pull request.
Do not commit to master in your fork.
Provide a clean branch without any merge commits from upstream.
Usually you should squash any intermediate commits into the original single commit.
Code style
----------
Do not introduce trailing whitespace.
Do not mix spaces and tabs.
Do not introduce lines longer than 80 characters.
[erlang-mode (emacs)](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.el.html) indentation is preferred.
vi-only users are encouraged to
give [Vim emulation](http://emacswiki.org/emacs/Evil) ([more info](https://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home)) a try.
Writing Commit Messages
-----------------------
Structure your commit message like this:
<pre>
One line summary (less than 50 characters)
Longer description (wrap at 72 characters)
</pre>
### Summary
* Less than 50 characters
* What was changed
* Imperative present tense (fix, add, change)
* `Fix bug 123`
* `Add 'foobar' command`
* `Change default timeout to 123`
* No period
### Description
* Wrap at 72 characters
* Why, explain intention and implementation approach
* Present tense
### Atomicity
* Break up logical changes
* Make whitespace changes separately
Run checks
----------
Before you submit a patch, run ``make check`` to execute
the test suite and check for
[xref](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/xref.html) and
[Dialyzer](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dialyzer.html)
warnings. You may have to run ``make clean`` first.
[Dialyzer](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/dialyzer.html) warnings are compared
against a set of safe-to-ignore warnings found in
[dialyzer_reference](https://raw.github.com/basho/rebar/master/dialyzer_reference).
[xref](http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/xref.html) is run with
[custom queries](https://raw.github.com/basho/rebar/master/rebar.config)
to suppress safe-to-ignore warnings.
It is **strongly recommended** to check the code with
[Tidier](http://tidier.softlab.ntua.gr:20000/tidier/getstarted).
Select all transformation
options and enable **automatic** transformation. If Tidier suggests a transformation,
apply the changes **manually** to the source code. Do not use the code from
the
tarball (*out.tgz*) as it will have white-space changes applied by Erlang's pretty-printer.
