Thanks for your interest in contributing to Fabro!

How to contribute

Fabro uses an issue-based contribution model. Instead of accepting outside pull requests, we accept bug reports and feature requests as GitHub Issues.

  1. Open an issue -- File an issue on GitHub Issues with a bug report or feature request. The more detail your issue contains, the easier it will be for us to address it quickly and successfully.
  2. We build it -- A Fabro maintainer will follow our software development process to create a patch, supervising AI coding agents and workflows.
  3. You get credit -- We will include you as a co-author on the commit which lands the change.

See the README for more on why we use this model.

Development setup

If you are maintaining a fork, the instructions below will help you build and test locally.

  • Bun (for the web frontend)
  • Git

Build and test

# Build all Rust crates
cargo build --workspace

# Run all tests
cargo test --workspace

# Check formatting and lint
cargo fmt --check --all
cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings

Web frontend (fabro-web)

cd apps/fabro-web
bun install
bun run dev        # start dev server
bun test           # run tests
