# Contributing to rust-analyzer
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest in contributing to rust-analyzer! There are many ways to contribute
|
|
and we appreciate all of them.
|
|
|
|
To get a quick overview of the crates and structure of the project take a look at the
|
|
[./docs/dev](./docs/dev) folder.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions please ask them in the [rust-analyzer zulip stream](
|
|
https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/185405-t-compiler.2Frust-analyzer) or if unsure where
|
|
to start out when working on a concrete issue drop a comment on the related issue for mentoring
|
|
instructions (general discussions are recommended to happen on zulip though).
|
|
|
|
## Fixing a bug or improving a feature
|
|
|
|
Generally it's fine to just work on these kinds of things and put a pull-request out for it. If there
|
|
is an issue accompanying it make sure to link it in the pull request description so it can be closed
|
|
afterwards or linked for context.
|
|
|
|
If you want to find something to fix or work on keep a look out for the `C-bug` and `C-enhancement`
|
|
labels.
|
|
|
|
## Implementing a new feature
|
|
|
|
It's advised to first open an issue for any kind of new feature so the team can tell upfront whether
|
|
the feature is desirable or not before any implementation work happens. We want to minimize the
|
|
possibility of someone putting a lot of work into a feature that is then going to waste as we deem
|
|
it out of scope (be it due to generally not fitting in with rust-analyzer, or just not having the
|
|
maintenance capacity). If there already is a feature issue open but it is not clear whether it is
|
|
considered accepted feel free to just drop a comment and ask!
