Contributing to FIPS

Getting Started

Clone the repo and verify your setup:

git clone https://github.com/jmcorgan/fips.git
cd fips
cargo build
cargo test

Read docs/design/ for protocol understanding, starting with fips-intro.md.

Filing Issues

  • Search existing issues before opening a new one.
  • Include FIPS version, Rust version, and OS.
  • For bugs: steps to reproduce, expected vs actual behavior.

Pull Requests

  • All PRs must pass cargo build, cargo test, and cargo clippy with no warnings.
  • Keep commits focused — one logical change per commit.
  • Add tests for new functionality.
  • Reference relevant design docs if the change touches protocol behavior.

Questions

Open a GitHub issue for design or implementation questions.
