| − | The source code of the D compiler (dmd), runtime library (druntime), and standard library (Phobos), are all available at [https://github.com/D-Programming-Language GitHub].

| − | ==Creating your fork==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To contribute to the D compiler, runtime library, or standard library, you need to create an account on GitHub, and then navigate to the D programming language project (as linked above), then create a fork of that project.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example, if you wish to submit a patch to the D compiler, you should navigate to [https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd D-Programming-Language/dmd], then click on the "Fork" button at the top right corner of the page. This will clone the D compiler sources into your list of projects.

| − | ==Checkout the sources==

| − | Once you have forked the project you wish to contribute to, use git to checkout a local copy of the project.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Generally, you should checkout a copy of at least dmd, druntime, and phobos in order to have a working compiler toolchain that you can use to test your changes.

| − | ===Source code structure===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The D source code assumes a particular directory structure, which you probably would want to adopt so that you don't have to fiddle with the Makefiles all the time.

| − | ====Posix====
| |
| − | | |
| − | For Posix, it is assumed that you will have a common root directory where the compiler and library sources will sit under. For example, you can choose the common root directory to be /usr/src/d, then you can checkout the sources under this directory:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | % mkdir /usr/src/d
| |
| − | % cd /usr/src/d
| |
| − | % git clone git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd.git
| |
| − | % git clone git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime.git
| |
| − | % git clone git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos.git
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | You should end up with this directory structure:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | /usr/src/d/
| |
| − | /usr/src/d/dmd
| |
| − | /usr/src/d/druntime
| |
| − | /usr/src/d/phobos
| |
| − | </pre>
