# Contributing to Yosys
|
|
|
|
Thanks for considering helping out. If this is your
|
|
first time contributing to an open source project, please take a look at the
|
|
following guide about the basics:
|
|
https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#orienting-yourself-to-a-new-project.
|
|
|
|
## Asking questions
|
|
|
|
If you have a question about how to use Yosys, please ask on our [Discourse forum](https://yosyshq.discourse.group/).
|
|
The Discourse is also a great place to ask questions about developing or
|
|
contributing to Yosys.
|
|
|
|
We have open [dev 'jour fixe' (JF) meetings](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SapA6QAsJcsgwsdKJDgnGR2mr97pJjV4eeXg_TVJhRU/edit?usp=sharing) where developers from YosysHQ and the
|
|
community come together to discuss open issues and PRs. This is also a good
|
|
place to talk to us about how to implement larger PRs.
|
|
|
|
## Using the issue tracker
|
|
|
|
The [issue tracker](https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/issues) is used for
|
|
tracking bugs or other problems with Yosys or its documentation. It is also the
|
|
place to go for requesting new features.
|
|
|
|
### Bug reports
|
|
|
|
Learn more [here](https://yosyshq.readthedocs.io/projects/yosys/en/latest/yosys_internals/extending_yosys/contributing.html#reporting-bugs) about how to report bugs. We fix well-reported bugs the fastest.
|
|
|
|
## Contributing code
|
|
|
|
If you're adding complex functionality, or modifying core parts of Yosys,
|
|
we highly recommend discussing your motivation and approach
|
|
ahead of time on the [Discourse forum](https://yosyshq.discourse.group/).
|
|
|
|
### Using pull requests
|
|
|
|
If you are working on something to add to Yosys, or fix something that isn't
|
|
working quite right,
|
|
make a [pull request (PR)](https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/pulls).
|
|
|
|
An open PR, even as a draft, tells everyone that you're working on it and they
|
|
don't have to. It can also be a useful way to solicit feedback on in-progress
|
|
changes. See above to find the best way to [ask us questions](#asking-questions).
|
|
|
|
### Continuous integration
|
|
|
|
[Continuous Integration (CI)](https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/actions) tools
|
|
automatically compile Yosys and run it with the full suite of tests.
|
|
If you're a first time contributor, a maintainer has to trigger a run for you.
|
|
We test on various platforms, compilers. Sanitizer builds are only tested
|
|
on the main branch.
|
|
|
|
### Labels
|
|
|
|
We use [labels](https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/labels) to help categorise
|
|
issues and PRs. If a label seems relevant to your work, please do add it; this
|
|
also includes the labels beginning with 'status-'. The 'merge-' labels are used
|
|
by maintainers for tracking and communicating which PRs are ready and pending
|
|
merge; please do not use these labels if you are not a maintainer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
