Contributing to rustup

1. Fork it!
2. Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
3. Commit your changes: git commit -am 'Add some feature'
4. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
5. Submit a pull request :D

For developing on rustup itself, you may want to install into a temporary directory, with a series of commands similar to this:

$ cargo build
$ mkdir home
$ RUSTUP_HOME=home CARGO_HOME=home target/debug/rustup-init --no-modify-path -y

You can then try out rustup with your changes by running home/bin/rustup, without affecting any existing installation. Remember to keep those two environment variables set when running your compiled rustup-init or the toolchains it installs, but unset when rebuilding rustup itself.

We use rustfmt to keep our codebase consistently formatted. Please ensure that you have correctly formatted your code (most editors will do this automatically when saving) or it may not pass the CI tests.

Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as in the README, without any additional terms or conditions.
