Reporting Bugs

Please file bugs in the Github Issue Tracker. Include at least the following:

  • What happened

  • What did you expect to happen instead of what did happen, if it's not crazy obvious

  • What operating system, operating system version and version of Syncthing you are running

  • The same for other connected nodes, where relevant

  • Screenshot if the issue concerns something visible in the GUI

  • Console log entries, where possible and relevant

If you're not sure whether something is relevant, erring on the side of too much information will never get you yelled at. :)

Contributing Translations

All translations are done via Transifex. If you wish to contribute to a translation, just head over there and sign up. Before every release, the language resources are updated from the latest info on Transifex.

Contributing Code

Please do contribute! If you want to contribute but are unsure where to start, the Contributions Needed topic lists areas in need of attention. In general, any open issues are fair game! Be prepared for a certain amount of review; it's all in the name of quality. :)

Building

See the documentation on how to get started with a build environment.

Branches

  • master is the main branch containing good code that will end up in the next release. You should base your work on it. It won't ever be rebased or force-pushed to.

  • vx.y branches exist to make patch releases on otherwise obsolete minor releases. Should only contain fixes cherry picked from master. Don't base any work on them.

  • Other branches are probably topic branches and may be subject to rebasing. Don't base any work on them unless you specifically know otherwise.

Tags

All releases are tagged semver style as vx.y.z. Release tags are signed by GPG key BCE524C7.

Tests

Style
