-
-- Make your changes!
-
-## Commit Checklist
-
-### The Basics
-
-- [x] my commit is a single logical unit of work
-
-- [x] I have checked for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check" 
-
-- [x] my commit does not include commented out code or unneeded files
-
-### The Content
-
-- [x] my commit includes tests for the bug I fixed or feature I added
-
-- [x] my commit includes appropriate documentation changes if it is introducing a new feature or changing existing functionality
-    
-- [x] my code passes existing test suites
-
-### The Commit Message
-
-- [x] the first line of my commit message includes:
-
-  - [x] an issue number (if applicable), e.g. "(MODULES-xxxx) This is the first line" 
-  
-  - [x] a short description (50 characters is the soft limit, excluding ticket number(s))
-
-- [x] the body of my commit message:
-
-  - [x] is meaningful
-
-  - [x] uses the imperative, present tense: "change", not "changed" or "changes"
-
-  - [x] includes motivation for the change, and contrasts its implementation with the previous behavior
-
-## Submission
-
-### Pre-requisites
-
-- Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join)
-
-- [Create a ticket](https://tickets.puppet.com/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa), or [watch the ticket](https://tickets.puppet.com/browse/) you are patching for.
-
-### Push and PR
-
-- Push your changes to your fork
-
-- [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork/) against the repository in the puppetlabs organization
-
-## More about commits 
-
-  1.  Make separate commits for logically separate changes.
-
-      Please break your commits down into logically consistent units
-      which include new or changed tests relevant to the rest of the
-      change.  The goal of doing this is to make the diff easier to
-      read for whoever is reviewing your code.  In general, the easier
-      your diff is to read, the more likely someone will be happy to
-      review it and get it into the code base.
-
-      If you are going to refactor a piece of code, please do so as a
-      separate commit from your feature or bug fix changes.
-
-      We also really appreciate changes that include tests to make
-      sure the bug is not re-introduced, and that the feature is not
-      accidentally broken.
-
-      Describe the technical detail of the change(s).  If your
-      description starts to get too long, that is a good sign that you
-      probably need to split up your commit into more finely grained
-      pieces.
-
-      Commits which plainly describe the things which help
-      reviewers check the patch and future developers understand the
-      code are much more likely to be merged in with a minimum of
-      bike-shedding or requested changes.  Ideally, the commit message
-      would include information, and be in a form suitable for
-      inclusion in the release notes for the version of Puppet that
-      includes them.
-
-      Please also check that you are not introducing any trailing
-      whitespace or other "whitespace errors".  You can do this by
-      running "git diff --check" on your changes before you commit.
-
-  2.  Sending your patches
-
-      To submit your changes via a GitHub pull request, we _highly_
-      recommend that you have them on a topic branch, instead of
-      directly on "master".
-      It makes things much easier to keep track of, especially if
-      you decide to work on another thing before your first change
-      is merged in.
-
-      GitHub has some pretty good
-      [general documentation](http://help.github.com/) on using
-      their site.  They also have documentation on
-      [creating pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork/).
-
-      In general, after pushing your topic branch up to your
-      repository on GitHub, you can switch to the branch in the
-      GitHub UI and click "Pull Request" towards the top of the page
-      in order to open a pull request.
-
-  3.  Update the related JIRA issue.
-
-      If there is a JIRA issue associated with the change you
-      submitted, then you should update the ticket to include the
-      location of your branch, along with any other commentary you
-      may wish to make.
-
-# Testing
-
-## Getting Started
-
-Our Puppet modules provide [`Gemfile`](./Gemfile)s, which can tell a Ruby package manager such as [bundler](http://bundler.io/) what Ruby packages,
-or Gems, are required to build, develop, and test this software.
-
-Please make sure you have [bundler installed](http://bundler.io/#getting-started) on your system, and then use it to 
-install all dependencies needed for this project in the project root by running
-
-```shell
-% bundle install --path .bundle/gems
-Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/........
-Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/..
-Using rake (10.1.0)
-Using builder (3.2.2)
--- 8><-- many more --><8 --
-Using rspec-system-puppet (2.2.0)
-Using serverspec (0.6.3)
-Using rspec-system-serverspec (1.0.0)
-Using bundler (1.3.5)
-Your bundle is complete!
-Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
-```
-
-NOTE: some systems may require you to run this command with sudo.
-
-If you already have those gems installed, make sure they are up-to-date:
-
-```shell
-% bundle update
-```
-
-## Running Tests
-
-With all dependencies in place and up-to-date, run the tests:
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-```shell
-% bundle exec rake spec
-```
-
-This executes all the [rspec tests](http://rspec-puppet.com/) in the directories defined [here](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs_spec_helper/blob/699d9fbca1d2489bff1736bb254bb7b7edb32c74/lib/puppetlabs_spec_helper/rake_tasks.rb#L17) and so on. 
-rspec tests may have the same kind of dependencies as the module they are testing. Although the module defines these dependencies in its [metadata.json](./metadata.json),
-rspec tests define them in [.fixtures.yml](./fixtures.yml).
-
-### Acceptance Tests
-
-Some Puppet modules also come with acceptance tests, which use [beaker][]. These tests spin up a virtual machine under
-[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/), controlled with [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/), to simulate scripted test
-scenarios. In order to run these, you need both Virtualbox and Vagrant installed on your system.
-
-Run the tests by issuing the following command
-
-```shell
-% bundle exec rake spec_clean
-% bundle exec rspec spec/acceptance
-```
-
-This will now download a pre-fabricated image configured in the [default node-set](./spec/acceptance/nodesets/default.yml),
-install Puppet, copy this module, and install its dependencies per [spec/spec_helper_acceptance.rb](./spec/spec_helper_acceptance.rb)
-and then run all the tests under [spec/acceptance](./spec/acceptance).
-
-## Writing Tests
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-When writing unit tests for Puppet, [rspec-puppet][] is your best friend. It provides tons of helper methods for testing your manifests against a 
-catalog (e.g. contain_file, contain_package, with_params, etc). It would be ridiculous to try and top rspec-puppet's [documentation][rspec-puppet_docs] 
-but here's a tiny sample:
-
-Sample manifest:
-
-```puppet
-file { "a test file":
-  ensure => present,
-  path   => "/etc/sample",
-}
-```
-
-Sample test:
-
-```ruby
-it 'does a thing' do
-  expect(subject).to contain_file("a test file").with({:path => "/etc/sample"})
-end
-```
-
-### Acceptance Tests
-
-Writing acceptance tests for Puppet involves [beaker][] and its cousin [beaker-rspec][]. A common pattern for acceptance tests is to create a test manifest, apply it
-twice to check for idempotency or errors, then run expectations.
-
-```ruby
-it 'does an end-to-end thing' do
-  pp = <<-EOF
-    file { 'a test file': 
-      ensure  => present,
-      path    => "/etc/sample",
-      content => "test string",
-    }
-    
-  apply_manifest(pp, :catch_failures => true)
-  apply_manifest(pp, :catch_changes => true)
-  
-end
-
-describe file("/etc/sample") do
-  it { is_expected.to contain "test string" }
-end
-
-```
-
-# If you have commit access to the repository
-
-Even if you have commit access to the repository, you still need to go through the process above, and have someone else review and merge
-in your changes.  The rule is that **all changes must be reviewed by a project developer that did not write the code to ensure that
-all changes go through a code review process.**
-
-The record of someone performing the merge is the record that they performed the code review. Again, this should be someone other than the author of the topic branch.
