Developing GoldenDict is not hard. If you know some C++ and optionally some Qt, you can start to modify GoldenDict right now: * Install Qt and QtCreator * (On Linux, install dependencies) * Load `goldendict.pro` or `CMakeLists.txt` * Modify some code * Hit the `Run`. ## Coding Standards Please follow [C++ Core Guidelines](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines) and write modern C++ code. Commit messages should follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org) Reformat changes with `clang-format` [how to use clang-format](https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict/blob/staged/howto/how%20to%20use%20.clang-format%20to%20format%20the%20code.md) Remember to enable `clang-tidy` support on your editor so that `.clang-tidy` will be respected.
