Contributing to Serde
Serde welcomes contribution from everyone. Here are the guidelines if you are thinking of helping us:
Contributions
Contributions to Serde or its dependencies should be made in the form of GitHub pull requests. Each pull request will be reviewed by a core contributor (someone with permission to land patches) and either landed in the main tree or given feedback for changes that would be required. All contributions should follow this format, even those from core contributors.
Should you wish to work on an issue, please claim it first by commenting on the GitHub issue that you want to work on it. This is to prevent duplicated efforts from contributors on the same issue.
Pull Request Checklist
-
Branch from the master branch and, if needed, rebase to the current master branch before submitting your pull request. If it doesn't merge cleanly with master you may be asked to rebase your changes.
-
Commits should be as small as possible, while ensuring that each commit is correct independently (i.e., each commit should compile and pass tests).
-
If your patch is not getting reviewed or you need a specific person to review it, you can @-reply a reviewer asking for a review in the pull request or a comment, or you can ask for a review in
#serde
onirc.mozilla.org
. -
Add tests relevant to the fixed bug or new feature.
Conduct
In all Serde-related forums, we follow the Rust Code of Conduct. For escalation or moderation issues, please contact Erick (erick.tryzelaar@gmail.com) instead of the Rust moderation team.
Communication
Beyond opening tickets on the
serde-rs/serde project, Serde contributors
frequent the #serde
channel on
