Contributing to Sudo
====================
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Sudo! There are a
number of way you can help make Sudo better.
## Getting started
To get an overview of Sudo, please read the [README.md](../README.md).
There are multiple ways to contribute, some of which don't require
writing a single line of code.
## Filing bug reports/issues
If you find a bug in Sudo, you may open a [GitHub
issue](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues) or file a
[Bugzilla bug](https://bugzilla.sudo.ws). If you would rather use
email, messages may be sent to the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws
mailing list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers)
(public) or to sudo@sudo.ws (private).
For information on reporting security issues, please see
[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
Please include the version of sudo you are using, the operating
system and/or distro that is affected, and step-by-step instructions
to reproduce the problem.
## Making changes to Sudo
If you are interested in making changes to Sudo there are two main
work flows:
* clone the [sudo repo](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo), make
your changes, and submit a Pull Request (PR).
* send a diff with your changes to the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws mailing
list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers) to start
a discussion.
In addition to the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo),
there is also a [mercurial repo](https://www.sudo.ws/repos/sudo).
## sudo-workers mailing list
If you would like to discuss your changes before submitting a
PR, you may do so on the [sudo-workers@sudo.ws mailing
list](https://www.sudo.ws/mailman/listinfo/sudo-workers).
Otherwise, discussion can simply occur as part of the PR work flow.
## Fuzzing
Sudo uses the [oss-fuzz project](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz.git)
to perform fuzzing. Each commit to the _main_ branch will trigger
a short fuzzing run via the [CIFuzz
action](https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/actions/workflows/main.yml).
The history of that action shows successful and failed fuzzing runs.
Longer fuzzing runs occur using the ClusterFuzz infrastructure. These
fuzzing runs are longer than those used by CIFuzz. A [public list of
failures](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/list?q=sudoers)
is available.
For more information, see https://www.sudo.ws/security/fuzzing/.
## Translations
The Free Translation Project provides translations for Sudo. If
you would like to contribute to Sudo's translations, please see the
ABOUT-NLS file in the Sudo source tree or visit [the Free Translation
Project's homepage](http://translationproject.org).
There are currently two translation domains: [one for the sudo
front-end](https://translationproject.org/domain/sudo.html) and a
[separate one for the sudoers module and related
utilities](https://translationproject.org/domain/sudoers.html).
