Fabcoin development

Fabcoin is free software and any developer can contribute to the project. Everything you need is in the GitHub repository. Please make sure to read and follow the development process described in the README, as well as to provide good quality code and respect all guidelines.

Development discussion takes place on GitHub.

To report an issue, please see the bug reporting page.

Code Review

Fabcoin Core is security software that helps protect assets worth billions of dollars, so every code change needs to be reviewed by experienced developers.

It can take a long time for other developers to review your pull requests. Remember that all reviewers are taking time away from their own projects to review your pull requests, so be patient and respectful of their time.

Please also consider helping to review other people’s pull requests. You don’t need to be an expert in Fabcoin, the Fabcoin Core codebase, or C++ (although all these things help). There are almost always open pull requests that any programmer can review.

Starter Projects

Do you want to begin coding for Fabcoin Core but don’t have a specific improvement in mind? Here are a few ideas:

• Fix existing issues: the issue tracker is the best place to find a useful way to contribute to Fabcoin Core. Before starting to write any patches for issues you find, you may want to comment on the issue to make sure nobody else is already working on it.

• Write tests: Fabcoin Core is covered by many tests, but patches that improve test coverage are always welcome and are a great way to build familiarity with the codebase. See the documentation about automated testing.
