Contributing to VibeTunnel

We love your input! We want to make contributing to VibeTunnel as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features
  • Becoming a maintainer

We Develop with Github

We use GitHub to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.

We Use Github Flow

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase:

  1. Fork the repo and create your branch from main.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Ensure the test suite passes.
  5. Make sure your code lints.
  6. Issue that pull request!

Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

Report bugs using Github's issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue.

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

  • A quick summary and/or background
  • Steps to reproduce
    • Be specific!
    • Give sample code if you can
  • What you expected would happen
  • What actually happens
  • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

Development Setup

  1. Fork and clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/[your-username]/vibetunnel.git

    • Rust toolchain: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
