+# Maintaining ngtcp2 and nghttp3
+
+The ngtcp2 and nghttp3 libraries form the foundation of the QUIC
+implementation. They are acquired from the [ngtcp2/ngtcp2][] and
+[ngtcp2/nghttp3][] repositories on GitHub.
+
+ngtcp2 and nghttp3 are tightly related. They will typically be
+updated together.
+
+## Updating ngtcp2
+
+Update ngtcp2:
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2
+cd ngtcp2
+autoreconf -i
+./configure --enable-lib-only
+cd ..
+cp -R ngtcp2/crypto node/deps/ngtcp2
+cp -R ngtcp2/lib node/deps/ngtcp2
+```
+
+The `autoreconf -i` and `./configure --enable-lib-only` commands
+ensure that the necessary template files (such as version.h.in
+located in lib/includes/ngtcp2/ are processed appropriately.
+
+Check that Node.js still builds and tests.
+
+## Updating nghttp3
+
+Update nghttp3:
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3
+cd nghttp3
+autoreconf -i
+./configure --enable-lib-only
+cd ..
+cp -R nghttp3/lib node/deps/nghttp3
+```
+
+The `autoreconf -i` and `./configure --enable-lib-only` commands
+ensure that the necessary template files (such as version.h.in
+located in lib/includes/ngtcp2/ are processed appropriately.
+
+Check that Node.js still builds and tests.
+
+## Commiting ngtcp2 and nghttp3
+

+
