We would love to have you contribute! For a good list of things you could help us with, take a look at our good first issues. If you want to go deeper though, any open issue is up for grabs. Just let us know what you start on something.
For questions, requests or a casual chat, we are very active on our discord server. You can [join our discord server via this link][chat-url].
If you'd like to contribute code, then you may want to manage the build depends with a tool, we suggest pixi, but conda/mamba will also work.
You can use pixi for setting up the environment needed for building and testing rattler, (as a fun fact, pixi uses rattler as a dependency!). The spec in pixi.toml in the project root will set up the environment. After installing, run the install command from the project root directory, shown below.
❱ pixi install # installs dependencies into the virtual env
❱ pixi run build # calls "build" task specified in pixi.toml, "cargo build", using cargo in pixi venvThe environment can also be managed with conda using the spec in environments.yml in the project root.
As below,
❱ mamba create -n name_of_your_rattler_env --file='environments.yml' && mamba activate name_of_your_rattler_env
❱ cargo build # uses cargo from your mamba venv
❱ mamba deactivate # don't forget you're in the venv
