Contributing

We appreciate all kinds of contributions, thank you!

Note on README

Most of the readme is automatically copied from the crate documentation by cargo-sync-readme. This way the readme is always in sync with the docs and examples are tested.

So if you find a part of the readme you'd like to change between <!-- cargo-sync-readme start --> and <!-- cargo-sync-readme end --> markers, don't edit README.md directly, but rather change the documentation on top of src/lib.rs and then synchronize the readme with:

cargo sync-readme

(make sure the cargo command is installed):

cargo install cargo-sync-readme

If you have rusty-hook installed the changes will apply automatically on commit.
