Contributing to MLX

We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible.

Pull Requests

Fork and submit pull requests to the repo.
If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
If a change is likely to impact efficiency, run some of the benchmarks before and after the change. Examples of benchmarks can be found in benchmarks/python/.
If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
Every PR should have passing tests and at least one review.
For code formatting install pre-commit using something like pip install pre-commit and run pre-commit install. This should install hooks for running black and clang-format to ensure consistent style for C++ and python code.

You can also run the formatters manually as follows:
```
clang-format -i file.cpp
```
```
black file.py
```
or run pre-commit run --all-files to check all files in the repo.

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.
