## In this directory
|
|
|
|
This directory has helpful information about what you need to know to
|
|
hack on Tor!
|
|
|
|
First, read `GettingStarted.md` and `GettingStartedRust.md`
|
|
to learn how to get a start in Tor development.
|
|
|
|
If you've decided to write a patch, `CodingStandards.md` and
|
|
`CodingStandardsRust.md` will give you a bunch of information
|
|
about how we structure our code.
|
|
|
|
It's important to get the code right! Reading `WritingTests.md` will
|
|
tell you how to write and run tests in the Tor codebase.
|
|
|
|
There are a bunch of other programs we use to help maintain and
|
|
develop the codebase: `HelpfulTools.md` can tell you how to use them
|
|
with Tor.
|
|
|
|
If it's your job to put out Tor releases, see `ReleasingTor.md` so
|
|
that you don't miss any steps!
|
|
|
|
## Additional Information
|
|
|
|
For full information on how Tor is supposed to work, look at the files in
|
|
[Tor specification](https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree).
|
|
|
|
For an explanation of how to change Tor's design to work differently, look at
|
|
[the Tor proposal process](https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/plain/proposals/001-process.txt).
|
|
|
|
For the latest version of the code, get a copy of git, and
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ git clone https://git.torproject.org/git/tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Stay in touch
|
|
|
|
We talk about Tor on the `tor-talk` mailing list. Design proposals and
|
|
discussion belong on the `tor-dev` mailing list. We hang around on
|
|
irc.oftc.net, with general discussion happening on `#tor` and development
|
|
happening on `#tor-dev`.
|
|
|
|
The other files in this `HACKING` directory may also be useful as you
|
|
get started working with Tor.
|
|
|
|
Happy hacking!
