Is there a guide for building an unofficial twrp to adapt a new device? #83

There is no official twrp for xiaomi mi 10 ultra. And I don't know the unofficial one is safe or not, because it's not open-source. I hope I can adapt MI 10 ULTRA by myself. Is there a guide?

And there is no support yet for the Vivo Z1 Pro.. So..how do we get TWRP for our devices??

See these:

The Internet is full of guides for this topic, but by far the most useful source will be to find an existing TWRP device tree from a similar or predecessor device.

I wonder why there is only references to aged XDA forum posts about how to build TWRP. Shouldn't it be part of this repositories README.md instead? I mean, a) this would put the documentation where it belongs to and b) it is covered with version control and one does not have to fiddle around with old posts and potential hints somewhere deep in the XDA threads.

I would actually help here, but where to start if the information is so distributed? Can someone else (with knowledge about the build steps) kick off a first version of build instructions here in this repo?
