main channel of communication for contributors.  
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
+ Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (this is usually the master branch).
  Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+ Make commits of logical units.

Some tests require multiple JDKs to be installed on your computer, be aware of this if you make changes related to anything toolchains related.

If you want to explicitly run tests with a different Java version, you need to specify `-PtestJavaVersion=#` with the major version of the JDK you want the tests to run with (e.g. `-PtestJavaVersion=14`).

### Configuration cache enabled by default

there is too much debug info (see [this GitHub
issue](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/48919) for context). If
you want to debug a kernel, you can compile specific files with `-g` using the
`--per_file_copt` bazel option. For example, if you want to debug the Identity
op, which are in files starting with `identity_op`, you can run

```bash
