This document provides a synopsis and loose guidelines for how to contribute to
this project. It is a work in progress. Maintainers should expand this document.
## Preliminaries
We contribute using a fork-model rather than committing branches directly to the
repository. Please make a fork before starting work on your contribution.
Any and all pull requests to the repository *must* produce a ROM which matches
`sha1: ce81046eda7d232513069519cb2085349896dec7` by default. To verify this
locally, a `check` target is included in the `Makefile`:
```bash
make check
```
This target is run automatically as part of the default `make` command defined
in the provided `Makefile`.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If your pull request does not produce a matching ROM, then it will not be
> considered for merge until it has been updated to do so.
## Editor Enhancements
This repository includes a script to generate a `compile_commands.json` that is
compatible with C language servers such as `clangd`.
The following dependencies are required:
- `python3.8` or newer
- `gcc-arm-none-eabi`
- `clangd`
To run the script:
```bash
./gen_compile_commands.py
```
This will create a file named `compile_commands.json` in the project root,
overwriting any previous copy.
## Code Formatting
This repository includes an opinionated `clang-format` specification to ensure that
we maintain a common code style. For convenience, a pre-commit hook is also
provided in `.githooks` which will run `clang-format` against any staged changes
prior to executing a commit.
The following dependencies are required:
- `clang-format@18` or newer
To set up the pre-commit hook:
```bash
git config --local core.hooksPath .githooks/
```
To run the formatter on the full source tree:
```bash
make format
```
