Contributions are welcome!

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

* [Rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs/) (1.70+)
* Git

### Setup

```bash
# Clone
git clone https://github.com/avelino/jbundle.git
cd jbundle

# Build
cargo build

# Run tests
cargo test

# Lint
cargo clippy -- -D warnings

# Format
cargo fmt
```

## Testing Changes

Run against example projects:

```bash
# Clojure (deps.edn)
cargo run -- build --input ./example/clojure-deps --output ./dist/app

# Clojure (Leiningen)
cargo run -- build --input ./example/clojure-lein --output ./dist/app

# Java (Maven)
cargo run -- build --input ./example/java-pom --output ./dist/app

# Java (Gradle)
cargo run -- build --input ./example/java-gradle --output ./dist/app

# Run the generated binary
./dist/app
```

With verbose logging:

```bash
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run -- build --input ./example/clojure-deps --output ./dist/app
```

## Pull Request Process

1. **Fork** the repository
2. **Create a branch** for your change (`git checkout -b feature/my-feature`)
3. **Make changes** with tests if applicable
4. **Run checks** (`cargo test && cargo clippy && cargo fmt --check`)
5. **Open a pull request**

### PR Guidelines

* Keep changes focused — one feature/fix per PR
* Include tests for new functionality
* Update documentation if behavior changes
* Follow existing code style
