Reporting Bugs
==============
You've found a bug? Thanks for letting us know so we can fix it! It is a good
idea to describe in detail how to reproduce the bug (when you know how), what
environment was used and so on. Please tell us at least the following things:
* What's the version of restic you used? Please include the output of
`restic version` in your bug report.
* What commands did you execute to get to where the bug occurred?
* What did you expect?
* What happened instead?
* Are you aware of a way to reproduce the bug?
If you have the time you can compile restic with debug support by running
`go run build.go -tags debug` and instructing it to create a debug log by
setting the environment variable `DEBUG_LOG` to a file, e.g. like this:
$ export DEBUG_LOG=/tmp/restic-debug.log
$ restic backup ~/work
Please be aware that the debug log file will contain potentially sensitive
things like file and directory names, so please either redact it before
uploading it somewhere or post only the parts that are really relevant.
