This is the main source code repository for [Rust]. It contains the compiler,
standard library, and documentation.

**Note: this README is for _users_ rather than _contributors_.**
If you wish to _contribute_ to the compiler, you should read

Miscellaneous README changes - Various grammatical changes. - Use triple-backtick syntax and sh highlighting for code blocks. - Fix indentation of code block in step 2 of "Building on Windows". - Use title case for "Getting Help" subheading. 2015-02-21 22:46:06 +00:00			`## Getting Help`
Add links to forums in README.md, including discuss.rust-lang.org 2014-08-22 18:04:35 +00:00
Link to other resources instead of inlining their information The other places are more accurate and up-to-date. - Link to `std-dev-guide` in CONTRIBUTING.md Thom and Mara said the guide is in reasonably good shape, and it's tailored more closely to people working on the standard library. - Link to CONTRIBUTING.md instead of rustc-dev-guide in the main readme CONTRIBUTING.md has more information and also links the std-dev-guide. - Link to forge for the list of tested platforms; the one in the readme was hopelessly out of date. 2022-12-24 01:03:50 +00:00			`See https://www.rust-lang.org/community for a list of chat platforms and forums.`
CONTRIBUTING.md redux This redux of CONTRIBUTING.md adds in more information, including subsuming both compliment-bugreport.md and Note-development-policy in the wiki. I only glanced at the broad TOC of Note-development-policy, and did not use the text as the basis for the re-write. This will then address the last outstanding part of #5831. 2015-02-13 17:26:44 +00:00
