Contributing
Thank you so much for considering contributing to Atuin! We really appreciate it <3
Atuin doesn't require anything super special to develop - standard Rust tooling will do you just fine. We commit to supporting the latest stable version of Rust - nothing more, nothing less, no nightly.
Before working on anything, we suggest taking a copy of your Atuin data directory (~/.local/share/atuin on most *nix platforms). If anything goes wrong, you can always restore it!
What to work on?
Any issues labeled "bug" or "help wanted" would be fantastic, just drop a comment and feel free to ask for help!
If there's anything you want to work on that isn't already an issue, either open a feature request or get in touch on the forum/Discord.
Setup
git clone https://github.com/atuinsh/atuin
cd atuin
cargo build
Running
When iterating on a feature, it's useful to use cargo run
For example, if working on a search feature
cargo run -- search --a-new-flag
While iterating on the server, I find it helpful to run a new user on my system, with sync_server set to be localhost.
Tests
Our test coverage is currently not the best, but we are working on it! Generally tests live in the file next to the functionality they are testing, and are executed just with cargo test.
Migrations
Be careful creating database migrations - once your database has migrated ahead of current stable, there is no going back
