Working on this website

You can contribute to this website by completing, improving, and correcting it. Do not hesitate to correct even the smallest, insignificant detail (especially English mistakes, including typography). We love nitpicking! This website is composed of a set of markdown files located on the rapier.rs repository. It is compiled using Docusaurus 2. As explained in the next section, you need to fork, fix, and create a pull request targeting the master branch of the rapier.rs repository to make your contribution ready to integrate into our code base. There are no specific rules, except that all compilable code to generate illustrations must be located on the src folder. Downloadable examples have to be located on the examples directory of the main project repository.

Working on the library

If you intend to work on the source code of Rapier, you should start by forking the repository. Once you are done making modifications to your own copy of Rapier, you have to create a pull request targeting the dev branch so that your contribution can be reviewed, commented, and eventually merged.
