| # Contributing to rust-analyzer | |
| Thank you for your interest in contributing to rust-analyzer! There are many ways to contribute | |
| and we appreciate all of them. | |
| To get a quick overview of the crates and structure of the project take a look at the | |
| [Contributing](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/book/contributing) section of the manual. | |
| If you have any questions please ask them in the [rust-analyzer zulip stream]( | |
| https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/185405-t-compiler.2Frust-analyzer) or if unsure where | |
| to start out when working on a concrete issue drop a comment on the related issue for mentoring | |
| instructions (general discussions are recommended to happen on zulip though). | |
| ## Fixing a bug or improving a feature | |
| Generally it's fine to just work on these kinds of things and put a pull-request out for it. If there | |
| is an issue accompanying it make sure to link it in the pull request description so it can be closed | |
| afterwards or linked for context. | |
| If you want to find something to fix or work on keep a look out for the `C-bug` and `C-enhancement` | |
| labels. | |
| ## Implementing a new feature | |
| It's advised to first open an issue for any kind of new feature so the team can tell upfront whether | |
| the feature is desirable or not before any implementation work happens. We want to minimize the | |
| possibility of someone putting a lot of work into a feature that is then going to waste as we deem | |
| it out of scope (be it due to generally not fitting in with rust-analyzer, or just not having the | |
| maintenance capacity). If there already is a feature issue open but it is not clear whether it is | |
| considered accepted feel free to just drop a comment and ask! | |
| ## Use of AI | |
| All use of AI in contributions must follow the [AI Policy](./AI_POLICY.md). | |
| Contributions not following the AI Policy will be closed. |
