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.
For an explanation of how to change Tor's design to work differently, look at the Tor proposal process.
For the latest version of the code, get a copy of git, and
$ 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!
