Contributing

:balloon: We're thankful for any feedback and help in improving our project! We have a [contributing guide][CONTRIBUTING] to help you get involved. We also adhere to our [Code of Conduct].

Nix

This repository contains a [Nix flake] that initiates both the Rust toolchain set in [rust-toolchain.toml] and a [pre-commit hook]. It also installs helpful cargo binaries for development.

Please install [Nix] to get started. We also recommend installing [direnv].

Run nix develop or direnv allow to load the devShell flake output, according to your preference.

The Nix shell also includes several helpful shortcut commands. You can see a complete list of commands via the menu command.

Formatting

For formatting Rust in particular, we automatically format on nightly, as it uses specific nightly features we recommend by default.

Pre-commit Hook

This project recommends using [pre-commit] for running pre-commit hooks. Please run this before every commit and/or push.

  • If you are doing interim commits locally, and for some reason if you don't
want pre-commit hooks to fire, you can run git commit -a -m "Your message here" --no-verify.

Recommended Development Flow

  • We recommend leveraging [cargo-watch][cargo-watch],
[cargo-expand] and [IRust] for Rust development.
  • We recommend using [cargo-udeps][cargo-udeps] for removing unused dependencies
before commits and pull-requests.

Conventional Commits

This project lightly follows the [Conventional Commits convention][commit-spec-site] to help explain commit history and tie in with our release process. The full specification can be found [here][commit-spec]. We recommend prefixing your commits with a type of fix, feat, docs, ci, refactor, etc..., structured like so:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Getting Help

For usage questions, usecases, or issues reach out to us in the [UCAN Discord].
