| Contributing to PyTorch |
| ======================= |
| |
| If you would like to contribute to the PyTorch C++ API, refer to the |
| `CONTRIBUTING.md |
| <https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>`_ document in |
| the PyTorch repository. It contains instructions on how to develop PyTorch from source |
| and submit a proposal for your patch or feature. |
| |
| Specifically for the C++ frontend, just a note about tests: We have very |
| extensive tests in the `test/cpp/api |
| <https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/master/test/cpp/api/>`_ folder. The |
| tests are a great way to see how certain components are intended to be used. |
| When compiling PyTorch from source, the test runner binary will be written to |
| ``build/bin/test_api``. The tests use the `GoogleTest |
| <https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/>`_ framework, |
| which you can read up about to learn how to configure the test runner. When |
| submitting a new feature, we care very much that you write appropriate tests. |
| Please follow the lead of the other tests to see how to write a new test case. |
