# Coding guidelines
For the most part, Wasmtime and Cranelift follow common Rust conventions and
[pull request] (PR) workflows, though we do have a few additional things to
be aware of.
[pull request]: https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/
### `rustfmt`
All PRs must be formatted according to rustfmt, and this is checked in the
continuous integration tests. You can format code locally with:
```sh
$ cargo fmt
```
at the root of the repository. You can find [more information about rustfmt
online](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) too, such as how to configure
your editor.
### Minimum Supported `rustc` Version
Wasmtime supports the current stable version of Rust.
Cranelift supports stable Rust, and follows the [Rust Update Policy for
Firefox].
Some of the developer scripts depend on nightly Rust, for example to run
clippy and other tools, however we avoid depending on these for the main
build.
