We don't use GitHub as a support forum. For any usage questions that are not specific to the project itself, please ask on Stack Overflow instead. By doing so, you'll be more likely to quickly solve your problem, and you'll allow anyone else with the same question to find the answer. This also allows maintainers to focus on improving the project for others.
If you'd like to discuss Alamofire best practices, common usage patterns, ideas for new features, or ongoing development, please use our Swift Forums.
The Alamofire Software Foundation takes security seriously. If you discover a security issue, please bring it to our attention right away!
Please DO NOT file a public issue, instead send your report privately to security@alamofire.org. This will help ensure that any vulnerabilities that are found can be disclosed responsibly to any affected parties.
A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed issue when you encounter a problem. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report.
Check that the project issues database doesn't already include that problem or suggestion before submitting an issue. If you find a match, feel free to vote for the issue by adding a reaction. Doing this helps prioritize the most common problems and requests.
When reporting issues, please fill out our issue template. The information the template asks for will help us review and fix your issue faster.
You can triage issues which may include reproducing bug reports or asking for vital information, such as version numbers or reproduction instructions. If you would like to start triaging issues, one easy way to get started is to subscribe to alamofire on CodeTriage.
You can contribute by fixing bugs or adding new features. For larger code changes, we recommend first discussing your ideas on our GitHub Discussions or Swift Forums. When submitting a pull request, please add relevant tests and ensure your changes don't break any existing tests (see Automated Tests below).
Alamofire's tests depend on our Firewalk test server. To run the automated tests, you first need to have the server running locally.
In your terminal, run the following commands:
- To install Firewalk:
brew install alamofire/alamofire/firewalk
- To run and detach the server:
firewalk &
- To stop the server, run
kill
and provide the pid output after launch.
