# Contributing to Rust
|
||
|
||
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Rust! There are many ways to contribute
|
||
and we appreciate all of them.
|
||
|
||
Documentation for contributing to Rust is located in the [Guide to Rustc Development](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/),
|
||
commonly known as the [rustc-dev-guide]. Despite the name, this guide documents
|
||
not just how to develop rustc (the Rust compiler), but also how to contribute to any part
|
||
of the Rust project.
|
||
|
||
To get started with contributing, please read the [Contributing to Rust] chapter of the guide.
|
||
That chapter explains how to get your development environment set up and how to get help.
|
||
|
||
## About the [rustc-dev-guide]
|
||
|
||
The [rustc-dev-guide] is meant to help document how rustc –the Rust compiler– works,
|
||
as well as to help new contributors get involved in rustc development. It is recommend
|
||
to read and understand the [rustc-dev-guide] before making a contribution. This guide
|
||
talks about the different bots in the Rust ecosystem, the Rust development tools,
|
||
bootstrapping, the compiler architecture, source code representation, and more.
|
||
|
||
## [Getting help](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions)
|
||
|
||
There are many ways you can get help when you're stuck. Rust has many platforms for this:
|
||
[internals], [rust-zulip], and [rust-discord]. It is recommended to ask for help on
|
||
the [rust-zulip], but any of these platforms are a great way to seek help and even
|
||
find a mentor! You can learn more about asking questions and getting help in the
|
||
[Asking Questions](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions) chapter of the [rustc-dev-guide].
|
||
|
||
## Bug reports
|
||
|
||
Did a compiler error message tell you to come here? If you want to create an ICE report,
|
||
refer to [this section][contributing-bug-reports] and [open an issue][issue template].
