# Contributing to Dendrite
|
|
|
|
Everyone is welcome to contribute to Dendrite! We aim to make it as easy as
|
|
possible to get started.
|
|
|
|
Please ensure that you sign off your contributions! See [Sign Off](#sign-off)
|
|
section below.
|
|
|
|
## Getting up and running
|
|
|
|
See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for instructions on setting up a running dev
|
|
instance of dendrite, and [CODE_STYLE.md](CODE_STYLE.md) for the code style
|
|
guide.
|
|
|
|
We use `gb` for managing our dependencies, so `gb build` and `gb test` is how
|
|
to build dendrite and run the unit tests respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Picking Things To Do
|
|
|
|
If you're new then feel free to pick up an issue labelled [good first issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/good%20first%20issue).
|
|
These should be well-contained, small pieces of work that can be picked up to
|
|
help you get familiar with the code base.
|
|
|
|
Once you're comfortable with hacking on Dendrite there are issues lablled as
|
|
[help wanted](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/help%20wanted), these
|
|
are often slightly larger or more complicated pieces of work but are hopefully
|
|
nonetheless fairly well-contained.
|
|
|
|
We ask people who are familiar with Dendrite to leave the [good first issue](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/good%20first%20issue)
|
|
issues so that there is always a way for new people to come and get involved.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Help
|
|
|
|
For questions related to developing on Dendrite we have a dedicated room on

|
where we're happy to help.
