Thank you for investing your time in contributing to Neverest CLI!
The development environment is managed by Nix. Running nix-shell
will spawn a shell with everything you need to get started with the lib: cargo
, cargo-watch
, rust-bin
, rust-analyzer
, notmuch
…
# Start a Nix shell
$ nix-shell
# then build the CLI
$ cargo build
# run the CLI
$ cargo run --feature pgp-gpg
Neverest CLI supports open-source, hence the choice of using SourceHut for managing the project. The only reason why the source code is hosted on GitHub is to build releases for all major platforms (using GitHub Actions). Don't worry, contributing on SourceHut is not a big deal: you just need to send emails! You don't need to create any account. Here a small comparison guide with GitHub:
The equivalent of GitHub Discussions are:
- The Matrix chat room #pimalaya.neverest
- The SourceHut mailing list. You can consult existing messages here. You can "open a new discussion" by sending an email at ~soywod/[email protected]. You can also subscribe and unsubscribe to the mailing list, so you can receive a copy of all discussions.
The equivalent of GitHub Issues is the SourceHut bug tracker. You can consult existing bugs here, and you can "open a new issue" by sending an email at ~soywod/[email protected].
The equivalent of GitHub Pull requests is the SourceHut mailing list. You can "open a new pull request" by sending an email containing a git patch at ~soywod/[email protected]. The simplest way to send a patch is to use git send-email, follow this guide to configure git properly.
