# Developer docs

These docs are for maintainers and contributors working on the IvoryOS codebase, runtime behavior, tests, release notes, and documentation upkeep.

Start with [Contributor setup](contributor-setup.md) if you are setting up a local checkout. Use [Testing and verification](testing.md) before opening a merge request.
