+# Ruby Hacking Guide
+
+This document gives  some helpful instructions which  should make your
+experience as a Ruby core developer easier.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Make
+
+It's common to want to compile things as quickly as possible. Ensuring
+`make`  has the  right `--jobs`  flag will  ensure all  processors are
+utilized when building  software projects To do  this effectively, you
+can set `MAKEFLAGS` in your shell configuration/profile:
+
+``` shell
+# On macOS with Fish shell:
+export MAKEFLAGS="--jobs "(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
+
+# On macOS with Bash/ZSH shell:
+export MAKEFLAGS="--jobs $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)"
+
+# On Linux with Fish shell:
+export MAKEFLAGS="--jobs "(nproc)
+
+# On Linux with Bash/ZSH shell:
+export MAKEFLAGS="--jobs $(nproc)"
+```
+
+## Configure Ruby
+
+It's generally advisable to use a build directory.
+
+``` shell
+./autogen.sh
+mkdir build
+cd build
+../configure --prefix $HOME/.rubies/ruby-head
+make install
+```
+
+### Without Documentation
+
+If you  are frequently  building Ruby,  this will  reduce the  time it
+takes to `make install`.
+
+``` shell
+../configure --disable-install-doc
+```
+
+## Running Ruby
+
+### Run Local Test Script
+
+You can create  a file in the Ruby source  root called `test.rb`.  You
+can build `miniruby` and execute this script:
+
+``` shell
+make run
+```
+
+If  you want  more  of the  standard library,  you  can use  `runruby`
+instead of `run`.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+You can run the following tests at once:
+
+``` shell
+make check
+```
+
+### Run Bootstrap Tests
+
+There are  a set of tests  in `bootstraptest/` which cover  most basic
+features of the core Ruby language.
+
+``` shell
+make test
+```
+
+### Run Extensive Tests
+
+There  are extensive  tests in  `test/` which  cover a  wide range  of
+features of the Ruby core language.
+
+``` shell
+make test-all
+```
+
+You can run specific tests by specifying their path:
+
+``` shell
+make test-all TESTS=../test/fiber/test_io.rb
+```
+
+### Run Ruby Spec Suite Tests
+
+The [Ruby Spec Suite](https://github.com/ruby/spec/) is a test suite
+that aims to provide an executable description for the behavior of the
+language.
+
+``` shell
+make test-spec
+```
+
+### Building with Address Sanitizer
+
+Using the address sanitizer is a great way to detect memory issues.
+
+``` shell
+> ./autogen.sh
+> mkdir build && cd build
+> ../configure cppflags="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer" optflags=-O1 LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer"
+>
+```
