Getting up and running
See INSTALL.md for instructions on setting up a running dev instance of dendrite, and CODE_STYLE.md for the code style guide.
As of May 2019, we're not using gb anymore, which is the tool we had been
using for managing our dependencies. We're now using Go modules. To build
Dendrite, run the build.sh script at the root of this repository (which runs
go install under the hood), and to run unit tests, run go test ./... (which
should pick up any unit test and run it). There are also scripts for
linting and doing a build/test/lint
run.
Picking Things To Do
If you're new then feel free to pick up an issue labelled good first issue. 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, 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 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 Matrix #dendrite-dev:matrix.org where we're happy to help.
For more general questions please use #dendrite:matrix.org.
