[linting](scripts/find-lint.sh) and doing a [build/test/lint
run](scripts/build-test-lint.sh).
As of February 2020, we are deprecating support for Go 1.11 and Go 1.12 and are
now targeting Go 1.13 or later. Please ensure that you are using at least Go
1.13 when developing for Dendrite - our CI will lint and run tests against this
version.
## Continuous Integration
When a Pull Request is submitted, continuous integration jobs are run
automatically to ensure the code builds and is relatively well-written. The
jobs are run on [Buildkite](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/dendrite/),
and the Buildkite pipeline configuration can be found in Matrix.org's
[pipelines repository](https://github.com/matrix-org/pipelines).

If a job fails, click the "details" button and you should be taken to the job's
logs.

Scroll down to the failing step and you should see some log output. Scan
the logs until you find what it's complaining about, fix it, submit a new
commit, then rinse and repeat until CI passes.

### Running CI Tests Locally
To save waiting for CI to finish after every commit, it is ideal to run the
checks locally before pushing, fixing errors first. This also saves other
people time as only so many PRs can be tested at a given time.

To execute what Buildkite tests, first run `./scripts/build-test-lint.sh`;
this script will build the code, lint it, and run `go test ./...` with race
condition checking enabled. If something needs to be changed, fix it and then
run the script again until it no longer complains. Be warned that the linting
can take a significant amount of CPU and RAM.

These should be well-contained, small pieces of work that can be picked up to
help you get familiar with the code base.
Once you're comfortable with hacking on Dendrite there are issues lablled as
[help wanted](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/help%20wanted), these
are often slightly larger or more complicated pieces of work but are hopefully
nonetheless fairly well-contained.
