Contributing to Kiro

Thanks for your interest in contributing. Here's everything you need to get started.

Before You Start

  • Check open issues to avoid duplicate work
  • For big changes, open an issue first to discuss the idea
  • For small fixes (typos, obvious bugs) — just send a PR

Setting Up

git clone https://github.com/NurOS-Linux/kiro.git
cd kiro
meson setup builddir --buildtype=debug
meson compile -C builddir
./builddir/src/kiro

Code Style

  • Language: Vala
  • Follow the style of the surrounding code
  • Keep methods focused and short
  • No trailing whitespace

Submitting a PR

  1. Fork the repo and create a branch: git checkout -b my-feature
  2. Make your changes
  3. Build and test manually: meson compile -C builddir && ./builddir/src/kiro
  4. Commit with a clear message
  5. Open a pull request against main

Adding a Translation

  1. Add your language code to po/LINGUAS
  2. Copy the template: cp po/en.po po/YOUR_LANG.po
  3. Fill in the translations in your .po file
  4. Test it: LANG=YOUR_LANG ./builddir/src/kiro
