About

Use this section when you want to contribute to NeMo Relay source code, bindings, documentation, examples, tests, or third-party integration patches.

Contributing to NeMo Relay often means working across the Rust core, generated and hand-written language bindings, plugin surfaces, adaptive components, observability exporters, and documentation. The contribution workflow keeps those surfaces aligned so public behavior does not drift between supported languages. Use these pages to keep cross-language changes reviewable and validated.

Start Here When

Use these signals to decide whether this documentation path matches your current task.

• Setting up the repository for source development
• Choosing which language tests apply to a change
• Updating docs or examples alongside behavior
• Preparing a pull request for review
• Looking for contribution workflow details beyond user-facing product docs

If you are only consuming NeMo Relay packages, start with Getting Started instead.

Guides

Use these guide links to move from the overview into task-specific instructions.

• Development Setup covers package installation, source setup, branch naming, and code style.
• Workflow and Reviews covers pre-commit hooks, pull request expectations, release tag conventions, DCO sign-off, commit messages, and review rules.
• Testing and Documentation covers affected-language test selection, common build and test commands, documentation checks, and licensing expectations.

Read Development Setup before building locally. Use Testing and Documentation to choose the smallest validation set that covers your change. Before opening a pull request, review Workflow and Reviews and the repository root CONTRIBUTING.md guide.
