Setup

  1. Git clone OpenSearch-Dashboard for the version that matches the version you want to use OpenSearch-Dashboards
  2. Change your node version to the version specified in .node-version inside the OpenSearch Dashboards root directory. (using nvm can help for that)

Submitting Changes

See CONTRIBUTING.

Backports

The Github workflow in backport.yml creates backport PRs automatically when the original PR with an appropriate label backport <backport-branch-name> is merged to main with the backport workflow run successfully on the PR. For example, if a PR on main needs to be backported to 1.x branch, add a label backport 1.x to the PR and make sure the backport workflow runs on the PR along with other checks. Once this PR is merged to main, the workflow will create a backport PR to the 1.x branch.
