Workflow (fork → branch → PR)
1) Fork the repository to your account.
2) Create a feature branch:
- git checkout -b feat/short-description
3) Make changes with focused commits and good messages.
4) Run the checklist below.
5) Push and open a Pull Request against the main repository.
Developer checklist (before opening a PR)
- Build:
- cargo build (preferably without warnings)
- Tests:
- cargo test (all tests pass)
- Lints:
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings (fix warnings)
- Documentation:
- Update README/docs for user-visible changes
- Update CHANGELOG.md if applicable
- Tests for changes:
- Add or update tests for bug fixes and new features where reasonable
Local development tips
- Use `cargo run -- <args>` during development.
- For faster feedback, keep examples in the examples/ folder handy.
- Keep functions small and focused; prefer clear error messages with context.
Code of conduct
- Be respectful and constructive. Assume good intent.
