Getting Started Contributing to non-kernel KUnit repos

This page is for contributing code to repos that live outside of https://git.kernel.org.

You most likely want to contribute to KUnit in upstream Linux directly, see Getting Started Developing KUnit.

Why is there a difference?

The Linux kernel has been around a lot longer than KUnit, and thus has rules that we have no say on. However, any code that lives outside of the kernel is managed by Google; it’s open source and everyone has equal right to it, but because it is under the Google umbrella and not the Linux Foundation’s umbrella it means that there are certain rules we have to follow in one place, and different rules in the other.

The details are not important, all you have to know is that if you send code to the Linux kernel you should follow the rules above, and if you are contributing to any other KUnit repos, you should follow the rules here.

If you still have confusion, feel free to reach out to us.

Sign the Contributor License Agreement

For any contributions not sent directly to the Linux kernel via the Linux kernel mailing lists, we require contributors to sign our Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

You may sign our CLA here: https://cla.developers.google.com/

Note

Your company may already have a CLA on file with Google.
