This page contains information about reporting issues, how to suggest changes as well as the guidelines we follow for how our documents are formatted.
To report an issue, or to suggest an idea for a change that you haven't had time to write-up yet, open an issue. It is best to check our existing issues first to see if a similar one has already been opened and discussed.
In order to start developing this project, you need to install the Rust tooling using rustup.
To build the project:
cargo build --all-features --all
To run all tests:
cargo test --all-features --all
To build and open the documentation:
cargo doc --lib --open
Before performing the PR, once you have committed all changes, run:
cargo fix --all && cargo fmt --all
And commit the changed files. These commands will reorganize imports and format the code.
To suggest a change to this repository, submit a pull request(PR) with the complete set of changes you'd like to see. See the Spec Formatting Conventions section for the guidelines we follow for how documents are formatted.
Each PR must be signed per the following section.
The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the patch. Your signature certifies that you wrote the patch or otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the below (from developercertificate.org):

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified

Then you just add a line to every git commit message:

Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions.)
If you set your user.name
and user.email
git configs, you can sign your
commit automatically with git commit -s

be rejected by the automated DCO check.
