Contributing to PureCode

Thank you for your interest in contributing to purecode! We want to make this tool the standard for semantic diff analysis.

Prerequisites

Rust: You will need a stable Rust toolchain installed. We recommend using rustup.
Git: For version control.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/purecode.git
cd purecode

Build the project:
```
cargo build
```
Run tests:
```
cargo test
```
Run the tool locally: You can run the CLI against the repo itself to test changes:
```
cargo run -- --base HEAD~1 --head HEAD
```

Idiomatic Rust: We strive for clean, idiomatic Rust code (Edition 2021).
Formatting: Please run cargo fmt before submitting.
Linting: We use clippy to catch common mistakes. Please run cargo clippy and address warnings.
```
cargo clippy -- -D warnings
```
Documentation: Public structs and functions should have documentation comments (///).

Create a new branch for your feature or fix. We recommend naming it feature/your-feature-name or fix/issue-description.
Make your changes.
Add tests for any new logic (especially new classifiers).
Ensure all tests pass.
Push your branch and open a Pull Request against main.

Our GitHub Actions workflow automatically:

Builds the project on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Runs the test suite.
(On PRs) Generates binary artifacts that you can download to verify behavior on different OSes.

If you find a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue in the GitHub repository describing the problem and how to reproduce it.
