Contributing

Thanks for being willing to contribute!

Working on your first Pull Request? You can learn how from this free series How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub

Project setup

It is recommended you use yarn rather than npm. But if you'd rather stick with npm, simply replace yarn in the commands below with npm.

  1. Fork and clone the repo
  2. Run yarn run setup to verify your system and install dependencies
  3. Create a branch for your PR

You can run yarn run to see what scripts are available.

Add yourself as a contributor

This project follows the all contributors specification. To add yourself to the table of contributors on the README.md, please use the automated script as part of your PR:

npm run add-contributor

Follow the prompt. If you've already added yourself to the list and are making a new type of contribution, you can run it again and select the added contribution type.

Where to contribute

This project uses split-guide to make maintaining the exercises and exercises-final files easier. The exercises and exercise-final folders are actually generated code via the generate script. So any changes you make should go in a templates directory. When you've made your changes, please run yarn run split to regenerate the exercises and commit those changes as part of your pull request.

Development

The best workflow for adding/changing tests is to run yarn run dev which will fire up onchange for split-guide and the exercises-final tests in watch mode (learn more). With this going, you can open up the relevant files in the templates directory and start making changes. When you save your changes, the files will be generated and the exercises-final tests will be re-run.

Extra Credit

There are definitely more features we could add tests for, and you can also add tests to existing features. You can put these at the bottom in the "Extra Credit" section with test.skip. This way people who work through the solutions quickly can have something to solidify their learning further while others finish the core content. Please follow the instructions above when contributing. Thanks for your help!

Quizzes

There are a bunch of quizzes in the quizzes folder. It'd be awesome to get more of these! I recorded a video showing how it works. Pretty much just open the quizzes directory and follow the current conventions there! For development, just run yarn run quiz and start developing and seeing the output!

opt into git hooks

There are git hooks set up with this project that are automatically installed when you install dependencies. They're really handy, but are turned off by default (so as to not hinder new contributors). You can opt into these by creating a file called .opt-in at the root of the project and putting this inside:
