## Contents of this repository
This repository contains just the code for the Arduino IDE itself.
Originally, it also contained the AVR and SAM Arduino core and libraries
(i.e. the code that is compiled as part of a sketch and runs on the
actual Arduino device), but those have been moved into their own
repositories. They are still automatically downloaded as part of the
build process and included in built releases, though.
The repositories for these extra parts can be found here:
- Non-core specific Libraries are listed under: <https://github.com/arduino-libraries/>
(and also a few other places, see `build/build.xml`).
- The AVR core can be found at: <https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr>
- Other cores are not included by default but installed through the
board manager. Their repositories can also be found under
<https://github.com/arduino/>.
## Building and testing
Instructions for building the IDE and running unit tests can be found on
the wiki:
- <https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Building-Arduino>
- <https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Testing-Arduino>
## Credits
Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.
