You can find a detailed explanation of main project concepts in docs.
We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:
- Reporting a bug
- Taking part in discussions
- Submitting a fix
- Proposing new features
We are using Github Flow, so all code changes happen through pull requests from a forked repo.
-
The current active branch is
next
. Every branch with a fix/feature must be forked fromnext
. -
The branch name should contain a short issue/feature description separated with hyphens (kebab-case).
For example, if the issue title is
Fix functionality X in component Y
then the branch name will be something like:fix-x-in-y
. -
New branch should be rebased from
next
before submitting a PR in case there have been changes to avoid merge commits. i.e. this branches state:A---B---C fix-x-in-y / D---E---F---G next | | (F, G) changes happened after `fix-x-in-y` forked
should become this after rebase:
A'--B'--C' fix-x-in-y / D---E---F---G next
-
Commit messages should be written in a short, descriptive manner and be prefixed with tags for the change type and scope (if possible) according to the semantic commit scheme. For example, a new change to the PARSER crate might have the following message:
feat(parser): add support for variables
-
Also squash commits to logically separated, distinguishable stages to keep git log clean:
7hgf8978g9... Added A to X \ \ (squash) gh354354gh... oops, typo --- * ---------> 9fh1f51gh7... feat(X): add A && B / 85493g2458... Added B to X / 789fdfffdf... Fixed D in Y \ \ (squash) 787g8fgf78... blah blah --- * ---------> 4070df6f00... fix(Y): fixed D && C / 9080gf6567... Fixed C in Y /
-
For documentation in the codebase, we follow the rustdoc convention with no more than 100 characters per line.
-
For code sections, we use code separators like the following to a width of 100 characters::
// CODE SECTION HEADER // ================================================================================
-
Rustfmt and Clippy linting is included in CI pipeline. Anyways it's prefferable to run linting locally before push:
cargo fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --all-targets --all-features; cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
We use semver naming convention.
- Repo forked and branch created from
next
according to the naming convention. - Commit messages and code style follow conventions.
- Tests added for new functionality.
- Documentation/comments updated for all changes according to our documentation convention.
- Clippy and Rustfmt linting passed.
- New branch rebased from
next
.
Great Bug Reports tend to have:
- A quick summary and/or background
- Steps to reproduce
- What you expected would happen
- What actually happens
- Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)
In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.
