There are different ways you can help contributing to Cutter:
Make a clear description of the bug/feature, use screenshots, send binaries, etc. This will help us improve the software for you. You can create an issue by clicking on this link.
Note that cutter is still under development and many parts of the code are to be improved. The best way is to check the opened issues here or discuss with rizinorg team. Please follow our contribution guidelines: https://cutter.re/docs/contributing.html
The documentation is something important for newcomers. As of today the documentation can be found here and it stands in the docs folder. The API Reference is automatically generated from the source code, so it is strongly advised to document your code. Check issues marked as "Documentation" on our issues list.
You can help Cutter by adding translations to the project! We use the Crowdin platform to help us share translations. Feel free to contribute and add translations to the project. If you need to add a language, ask any rizinorg developer.
Following the widespread availability of large language models and generative AI, Rizin Organization has received a growing number of changes generated partially or entirely using such tools. Many of these are completely unusable in our codebase. While AI tools can help to draft changes, they must not replace human understanding and proper code modifications.
If you use AI tools to help prepare a code change, you must:
- Disclose which AI tools were used and specify what they were used for.
- Verify that the code compiles, works and is not copyrighted by somebody else.
- Avoid fabricated code, placeholder text, or references to non-existent code.
Changes that appear to be unverified AI output will be closed without response. Repeated low-quality submissions may result in a ban.
We align with similar policies adopted by other major open-source projects, which have described the flood of unverified AI-generated code changes as disruptive, counterproductive, and a drain on limited team resources.
Important
AI tools must not be used to fix issues labelled good first issue.
These issues are generally not urgent, and are intended to be learning opportunities for new contributors to get familiar with the codebase.
Whether you are a newcomer or not, fully automating the process of fixing this issue squanders the learning opportunity and doesn't add much value to the project.
Using AI tools to fix issues labelled as "good first issues" is forbidden.
Due to the high number of AI-generated contributions, we raised the standard for new contributors.
You must provide a "before" and "after" screenshot or video showing that the change fixed the issue.
Important
If this requirement is not met, we won't review the PR and will close it if there are no visible attempts to meet it.
