+# Contributing to Clippy
+
+Hello fellow Rustacean! Great to see your interest in compiler internals and lints!
+
+**First**: if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or submit the issue or pull request anyway. You won't be
+yelled at for giving it your best effort. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change
+something. We appreciate any sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the way of that.
+
+Clippy welcomes contributions from everyone. There are many ways to contribute to Clippy and the following document
+explains how you can contribute and how to get started.  If you have any questions about contributing or need help with
+anything, feel free to ask questions on issues or visit the `#clippy` on [Zulip].
+
+All contributors are expected to follow the [Rust Code of Conduct].

+## The Clippy book
+
+If you're new to Clippy and don't know where to start the [Clippy book] includes
+a developer guide and is a good place to start your journey.
+
+<!-- FIXME: Link to the deployed book, once it is deployed through CI -->
+[Clippy book]: book/src
+
+## High level approach
+
+1. Find something to fix/improve
+2. Change code (likely some file in `clippy_lints/src/`)
+3. Follow the instructions in the [Basics docs](book/src/development/basics.md)
+   to get set up
+4. Run `cargo test` in the root directory and wiggle code until it passes
+5. Open a PR (also can be done after 2. if you run into problems)
+
+## Finding something to fix/improve
+
+All issues on Clippy are mentored, if you want help simply ask someone from the
+Clippy team directly by mentioning them in the issue or over on [Zulip]. All
+currently active team members can be found
+[here](https://github.com/rust-lang/highfive/blob/master/highfive/configs/rust-lang/rust-clippy.json#L3)
+
+Some issues are easier than others. The [`good-first-issue`] label can be used to find the easy
+issues. You can use `@rustbot claim` to assign the issue to yourself.
+
+There are also some abandoned PRs, marked with [`S-inactive-closed`].
+Pretty often these PRs are nearly completed and just need some extra steps
+(formatting, addressing review comments, ...) to be merged. If you want to
+complete such a PR, please leave a comment in the PR and open a new one based
+on it.
+
+Issues marked [`T-AST`] involve simple matching of the syntax tree structure,
+and are generally easier than [`T-middle`] issues, which involve types
+and resolved paths.
+
+[`T-AST`] issues will generally need you to match against a predefined syntax structure.
+To figure out how this syntax structure is encoded in the AST, it is recommended to run
+`rustc -Z unpretty=ast-tree` on an example of the structure and compare with the [nodes in the AST docs].
+Usually the lint will end up to be a nested series of matches and ifs, [like so][deep-nesting].
+But we can make it nest-less by using [let chains], [like this][nest-less].
+
+[`E-medium`] issues are generally pretty easy too, though it's recommended you work on an [`good-first-issue`]
+first. Sometimes they are only somewhat involved code wise, but not difficult per-se.
+Note that [`E-medium`] issues may require some knowledge of Clippy internals or some
+debugging to find the actual problem behind the issue.
+
+[`T-middle`] issues can be more involved and require verifying types. The [`ty`] module contains a
+lot of methods that are useful, though one of the most useful would be `expr_ty` (gives the type of
+an AST expression). `match_def_path()` in Clippy's `utils` module can also be useful.

+## Getting code-completion for rustc internals to work
+
+### IntelliJ Rust
+Unfortunately, [`IntelliJ Rust`][IntelliJ_rust_homepage] does not (yet?) understand how Clippy uses compiler-internals
+using `extern crate` and it also needs to be able to read the source files of the rustc-compiler which are not
+available via a `rustup` component at the time of writing.
+To work around this, you need to have a copy of the [rustc-repo][rustc_repo] available which can be obtained via
+`git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/`.
+Then you can run a `cargo dev` command to automatically make Clippy use the rustc-repo via path-dependencies
+which `IntelliJ Rust` will be able to understand.
+Run `cargo dev setup intellij --repo-path <repo-path>` where `<repo-path>` is a path to the rustc repo
+you just cloned.
+The command will add path-dependencies pointing towards rustc-crates inside the rustc repo to
+Clippy's `Cargo.toml`s and should allow `IntelliJ Rust` to understand most of the types that Clippy uses.
+Just make sure to remove the dependencies again before finally making a pull request!

+
+### Rust Analyzer
+As of [#6869][6869], [`rust-analyzer`][ra_homepage] can understand that Clippy uses compiler-internals
+using `extern crate` when `package.metadata.rust-analyzer.rustc_private` is set to `true` in Clippy's `Cargo.toml.`
+You will require a `nightly` toolchain with the `rustc-dev` component installed.
+Make sure that in the `rust-analyzer` configuration, you set
+```json
+{ "rust-analyzer.rustc.source": "discover" }
+```
+and
+```json
+{ "rust-analyzer.updates.channel": "nightly" }
+```
+You should be able to see information on things like `Expr` or `EarlyContext` now if you hover them, also
+a lot more type hints.
+This will work with `rust-analyzer 2021-03-15` shipped in nightly `1.52.0-nightly (107896c32 2021-03-15)` or later.

+
+## How Clippy works
+
+[`clippy_lints/src/lib.rs`][lint_crate_entry] imports all the different lint modules and registers in the [`LintStore`].
+For example, the [`else_if_without_else`][else_if_without_else] lint is registered like this:
+
+```rust
+// ./clippy_lints/src/lib.rs
+
+// ...
+pub mod else_if_without_else;
+// ...
+
+pub fn register_plugins(store: &mut rustc_lint::LintStore, sess: &Session, conf: &Conf) {
+    // ...
+    store.register_early_pass(|| box else_if_without_else::ElseIfWithoutElse);
+    // ...
+
+    store.register_group(true, "clippy::restriction", Some("clippy_restriction"), vec![
+        // ...
+        LintId::of(&else_if_without_else::ELSE_IF_WITHOUT_ELSE),
+        // ...
+    ]);
+}
+```
+
+The [`rustc_lint::LintStore`][`LintStore`] provides two methods to register lints:
+[register_early_pass][reg_early_pass] and [register_late_pass][reg_late_pass]. Both take an object
+that implements an [`EarlyLintPass`][early_lint_pass] or [`LateLintPass`][late_lint_pass] respectively. This is done in
+every single lint. It's worth noting that the majority of `clippy_lints/src/lib.rs` is autogenerated by `cargo dev
+update_lints`. When you are writing your own lint, you can use that script to save you some time.
+
+```rust
+// ./clippy_lints/src/else_if_without_else.rs
+
+use rustc_lint::{EarlyLintPass, EarlyContext};
+
+// ...
+
+pub struct ElseIfWithoutElse;
+
+// ...
+
+impl EarlyLintPass for ElseIfWithoutElse {
+    // ... the functions needed, to make the lint work
+}
+```
+
+The difference between `EarlyLintPass` and `LateLintPass` is that the methods of the `EarlyLintPass` trait only provide
+AST information. The methods of the `LateLintPass` trait are executed after type checking and contain type information
+via the `LateContext` parameter.
+
+That's why the `else_if_without_else` example uses the `register_early_pass` function. Because the
+[actual lint logic][else_if_without_else] does not depend on any type information.

+
+## Issue and PR triage
+
+Clippy is following the [Rust triage procedure][triage] for issues and pull
+requests.
+
+However, we are a smaller project with all contributors being volunteers
+currently. Between writing new lints, fixing issues, reviewing pull requests and
+responding to issues there may not always be enough time to stay on top of it
+all.
+
+Our highest priority is fixing [crashes][l-crash] and [bugs][l-bug], for example
+an ICE in a popular crate that many other crates depend on. We don't
+want Clippy to crash on your code and we want it to be as reliable as the
+suggestions from Rust compiler errors.
+
+We have prioritization labels and a sync-blocker label, which are described below.
+- [P-low][p-low]: Requires attention (fix/response/evaluation) by a team member but isn't urgent.
+- [P-medium][p-medium]: Should be addressed by a team member until the next sync.
+- [P-high][p-high]: Should be immediately addressed and will require an out-of-cycle sync or a backport.
+- [L-sync-blocker][l-sync-blocker]: An issue that "blocks" a sync.
+Or rather: before the sync this should be addressed,
+e.g. by removing a lint again, so it doesn't hit beta/stable.
+
+## Bors and Homu
+
+We use a bot powered by [Homu][homu] to help automate testing and landing of pull
+requests in Clippy. The bot's username is @bors.
+
+You can find the Clippy bors queue [here][homu_queue].
+
+If you have @bors permissions, you can find an overview of the available
+commands [here][homu_instructions].
