PSA: this will eventually be public so be careful not to put any secrets in any commits!

Thank you for being here! We love your participation and want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

• Reporting a bug
• Discussing the current state of the code
• Submitting a fix
• Proposing new features

The code for this website is hosted on Github. We use a variety of Github tools to project manage the website, including tracking issues and feature requests as well as reviewing and merging changes to the code.

All changes happen through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use Github Flow). To get started:

1. Clone the repo, if you haven't already, and create your branch from main.
2. Begin working on the new branch to make your change(s).
3. Push your branch to Github and create a Pull Request for it. Doing even while it's still a work-in-progress is useful, as it makes it easy for you to ask others for ongoing feedback or help.
4. When you have completed your changes, ask for reviews of your Pull Request. At least 1 approval is required before the Pull Request can be merged.

Report bugs and feature requests using Github Issues

We use GitHub Issues to track potential work. Please add to this list, whether you are proposing a new feature, reporting a bug, or even raising a subject requiring discussion by opening a new issue.

How to begin local development

Setup with Ruby 2.7

Mac

1. Install Homebrew if you don't have it already (https://brew.sh/)
2. brew install ruby-install chruby
3. Add source /opt/homebrew/opt/chruby/share/chruby/chruby.sh and source /opt/homebrew/opt/chruby/share/chruby/auto.sh to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
4. ruby-install ruby 2.7.2
5. Start local development server with script/server --dev

First time with Jekyll?

• jekyll is a Ruby-based static site generator. It is easy to pick up if you've worked in Ruby before.
  • You'll see Liquid templating used a lot.
  • Jeykll starts on localhost:4000 by default.
    • You will need to restart the Jekyll process when the config file changes; that is the only time you need to restart it most of the time. (Other occasions include adding collections, etc, which you'll be doing extremely infrequently.)

Running the linter

The linter - Prettier - runs on every PR automatically. If you'd like to run it locally, run npm install once to set up npm and then npm run lint:fix to run the linter.
