# Contributing to stdsimd

The `stdsimd` crate is more than willing to accept contributions! First you'll
probably want to check out the repository and make sure that tests pass for you:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/stdsimd
$ cd stdsimd
$ cargo +nightly test
```

Remember that this repository requires the nightly channel of Rust! If any of
the above steps don't work, [please let us know][new]!

Next up you can [find an issue][issues] to help out on, we've selected a few
with the [`help wanted`][help] and [`impl-period`][impl] tags which could
particularly use some help. You may be most interested in [#40][vendor],
implementing all vendor intrinsics on x86. That issue's got some good pointers
about where to get started!
