Guide to new contributors

Thanks for your interest in contributing to bloop!

Before jumping in, please take a look at our code of conduct.

Have a question?

If you have a question about using bloop, please raise a ticket in the repository, or say hi on our Discord server.

Would like to contribute?

If you have a great idea, some novel optimization, or a bug fix ready to be merged, the maintainer team will help you get it into bloop.

We aim to maintain a high quality of contributions, and therefore all PRs need to go through a review process. During the review period you may be asked to make some changes to the code. When everybody's happy, we'll land the code, and ship it in the next release!

After a longer period of inactivity, we will close PRs. Some of the code may eventually make it into bloop if there's someone else to champion it, in accordance with the license.

In case you are not certain that your code quality or the feature you're working on is suitable for bloop, please open an issue with the question, or send in the PR anyway.

This allows the maintainers to give you hands on feedback, and work with you on specifics rather than theoretical proposals.

A quick list of things maintainers will check during review. The following 2 steps are requirements for all PRs:

  • Don't break public APIs.
  • Make sure you use rustfmt, follow clippy, and check tests, or your PR will fail the CI!

Additionally, please pay attention to the following points as it helps with our review. However, these are not required:

  • Please follow one of the issue/PR templates to make our work easier.
  • Document your changes as best as you can where appropriate.
  • Take a look at surrounding code, and try to match the style.
  • If you implement new high-level features, make sure you have a minimal example either in the documentation or in form of tests/benchmarks.
  • If you have a short & sweet bug fix, please create a PR and describe instructions to reproduce the bug, or a negative unit test.
  • Provide tests for logic changes, and benchmarks for performance work if possible.

Following these points will help the maintainers to run through your code and merge it in a timely manner.

Make sure the description of the PR clearly explains the motivation and link to any other resources we might need to consider when reviewing.

If you're still in doubt, email us at maintainers@bloop.ai, and we'll get you started!
