# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Contributors are very welcome! **No contribution is too small and all contributions are valued.**
|
|
|
|
Some suggestions to get started:
|
|
|
|
- You can look at the [good first issue][good-first-issue] label on the issue tracker.
|
|
- Help with packaging on various distributions needed!
|
|
- To use print debugging to the [Helix log file][log-file], you must:
|
|
* Print using `log::info!`, `warn!`, or `error!`. (`log::info!("helix!")`)
|
|
* Pass the appropriate verbosity level option for the desired log level. (`hx -v <file>` for info, more `v`s for higher severity inclusive)
|
|
- If your preferred language is missing, integrating a tree-sitter grammar for
|
|
it and defining syntax highlight queries for it is straight forward and
|
|
doesn't require much knowledge of the internals.
|
|
|
|
We provide an [architecture.md][architecture.md] that should give you
|
|
a good overview of the internals.

# Auto generated documentation
|
|
|
|
Some parts of [the book][docs] are autogenerated from the code itself,
|
|
like the list of `:commands` and supported languages. To generate these
|
|
files, run
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cargo xtask docgen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
inside the project. We use [xtask][xtask] as an ad-hoc task runner and
|
|
thus do not require any dependencies other than `cargo` (You don't have
|
|
to `cargo install` anything either).
