Contributing to TinyTemplate
Ideas, Experiences and Questions
The easiest way to contribute to TinyTemplate is to use it and report your experiences, ask questions and contribute ideas. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make TinyTemplate better, or your comments on why you are or are not currently using it.
Issues, ideas, requests and questions should be posted on the issue tracker at:
https://github.com/bheisler/TinyTemplate/issues
Code
Pull requests are welcome, though please raise an issue or post a comment for discussion first. We're happy to assist new contributors.
If you're not sure what to work on, try checking the Beginner label
To make changes to the code, fork the repo and clone it:
git clone git@github.com:your-username/TinyTemplate.git
Then make your changes to the code. When you're done, run the tests:
cargo test
It's a good idea to run clippy and fix any warnings as well:
rustup component add clippy-preview
cargo clippy
Finally, run Rustfmt to maintain a common code style:
rustup component add rustfmt-preview
cargo fmt
Don't forget to update the CHANGELOG.md file and any appropriate documentation. Once you're finished, push to your fork and submit a pull request. We try to respond to new issues and pull requests quickly, so if there hasn't been any response for more than a few days feel free to ping @bheisler.
Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted:
- Write tests
- Clearly document public methods, with examples if possible
- Write a good commit message
Good documentation is one of the core goals of the TinyTemplate project, so new code in pull requests should have clear and complete documentation.
Github Labels
TinyTemplate uses a simple set of labels to track issues. Most important are the difficulty labels:
- Beginner - Suitable for people new to TinyTemplate
- Intermediate - More challenging, likely involves some non-obvious design decisions or knowledge of CUDA
- Bigger Project - Large and/or complex project such as designing a safe, Rusty wrapper around a complex part of the CUDA API
Additionally, there are a few other noteworthy labels:
- Breaking Change - Fixing this will have to wait until the next breaking-change release
- Enhancement - Enhancements to existing functionality or documentation
- Help Wanted - Input and ideas requested
