# Contributing to nexus7
We're excited that you're interested in contributing to nexus7! This document will guide you through setting up your development environment and the process of contributing to the project.
## Setting up the development environment
We use [mise](https://github.com/jdx/mise) (formerly rtx) to manage our development environment. This ensures that all contributors are using the same versions of tools and dependencies.
### 1. Install mise
First, install mise by following the instructions in the [mise documentation](https://github.com/jdx/mise#installation).
### 2. Clone the repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/your-username/nexus7.git
cd nexus7
```
### 3. Set up the project with mise
mise will automatically read the `.mise.toml` file in the project root and install the specified versions of tools. Run:
```sh
mise install
```
This command will install the correct versions of Rust, Cargo, and any other dependencies required for the project.
### 4. Set up pre-commit hooks
We use pre-commit to run checks before each commit. Install and set it up:
```sh
mise use pre-commit
pre-commit install
```
