Contributing Overview

Alchemist is GPLv3 open source. Contributions are welcome.

Start here

• Development Setup for local bootstrap and common tasks
• CONTRIBUTING.md for licensing and contribution terms
• RELEASING.md for release and RC checklists

Windows contributors have a supported path for just install-w, just dev, and just check. Other just recipes are still Unix-first.
