+1. Fork it!
+2. Create your feature branch: `git checkout -b my-new-feature`
+3. Commit your changes: `git commit -am 'Add some feature'`
+4. Push to the branch: `git push origin my-new-feature`
+5. Submit a pull request :D
+
+For developing on `rustup` itself, you may want to install into a temporary
+directory, with a series of commands similar to this:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo build
+$ mkdir home
+$ RUSTUP_HOME=home CARGO_HOME=home target/debug/rustup-init --no-modify-path -y
+```
+
+You can then try out `rustup` with your changes by running `home/bin/rustup`, without
+affecting any existing installation. Remember to keep those two environment variables
+set when running your compiled `rustup-init` or the toolchains it installs, but _unset_
+when rebuilding `rustup` itself.
+
+We use `rustfmt` to keep our codebase consistently formatted.  Please ensure that
+you have correctly formatted your code (most editors will do this automatically
+when saving) or it may not pass the CI tests.
+
+Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally
+submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the
+Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any
+additional terms or conditions.
