Contributing to Tor
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome!
|
||||
|
||||
We have a bunch of documentation about how to develop Tor in the
|
||||
doc/HACKING/ directory. We recommend that you start with
|
||||
doc/HACKING/README.1st.md , and then go from there. It will tell
|
||||
you how to find your way around the source code, how to get
|
||||
involved with the Tor community, how to write patches, and much
|
||||
more!
|
||||
|
||||
You don't have to be a C developer to help with Tor: have a look
|
||||
at https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en !
|
||||
|
||||
The Tor Project is committed to fostering a inclusive community
|
||||
where people feel safe to engage, share their points of view, and
|
||||
participate. For the latest version of our Code of Conduct, please
|
||||
