2021-03-09Update CONTRIBUTING.mdHenry Boisdequin-1/+21
Fixes #77215 As mentioned in #77215, the current CONTRIBUTING.md links to the rustc-dev-guide. Even though the rustc-dev-guide has lots of useful information for contributors, one is already confused by reading the first line of the current CONTRIBUTING.md. > To get started, read the [Getting Started] guide in the [rustc-dev-guide]. This line tells the contributor to go and read the rustc-dev-guide. What is the rustc-dev-guide? What does rustc even mean? These are some of the questions that went into my head when reading this line as a first time contributor. By explaining what the rustc-dev-guide is and some platforms to get help, a new contributor understands what the first step is and the process is much clearer. The `About the [rustc-dev-guide]` section explains what the rustc-dev-guide is, what rustc is, and the purpose out of reading the guide. The `Getting help` section points the user to some places where they can get help, find a mentor, and introduce themsevles.
2020-09-28Link to "Contributing to Rust" rather than "Getting Started".follower-2/+2
Change to link to "Contributing to Rust" chapter of `rustc` Dev Guide, primarily on the basis that the GitHub "first contribution" Issue "pop-up" says "Be sure to review the [contributing guidelines] and [code of conduct]" and links to this file. When/if the guide/"Getting Started" section gets revised to not be `rustc`-specific the linked section can be changed. In the meantime this prevents leading first time contributors into a confusing cul de sac.

Rename rustc guide This is in preparation for https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide/issues/470 Needs to be merged after we actually rename the guide. Have used this to rename: `git grep -l 'rustc_guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc_guide/rustc_dev_guide/g'` `git grep -l 'rustc-guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc-guide/rustc-dev-guide/g'` `git grep -l 'rustc guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc guide/rustc dev guide/g'`
