When contributing to SynaxisApp
, whether on GitHub or in other community spaces:
- Be respectful, civil, and open-minded.
- Before opening a new pull request, try searching through the issue tracker for known issues or fixes.
- If you want to make code changes based on your personal opinion(s), make sure you open an issue first describing the changes you want to make, and open a pull request only when your suggestions get approved by maintainers.
In order to not waste your time implementing a change that has already been declined, or is generally not needed, start by opening an issue describing the problem you would like to solve.
Some commands will assume you have the Github CLI installed, if you haven't, consider installing it, but you can always use the Web UI if you prefer that instead.
In order to contribute to this project, you will need to fork the repository:
gh repo fork TheSynaxis/SynaxisApp
then, clone it to your local machine:
gh repo clone <your-github-name>/SynaxisApp
This project uses pnpm as its package manager. Install it if you haven't already:
npm install -g pnpm
Then, install the project's dependencies:
pnpm install
When making commits, make sure to follow the conventional commit guidelines, i.e. prepending the message with feat:
, fix:
, chore:
, docs:
, etc... You can use git status
to double check which files have not yet been staged for commit:
git add <file> && git commit -m "feat/fix/chore/docs: commit message"
Alternatively, you can run pnpm commit
to run commitizen, which will walk you through making a commit message following the conventional commit guidelines.
Our commonly used scopes are:
- (site): for changes made to the headless WordPress website.
- (apps): for changes made to the browser apps that affect them both, like a sidebar change.
- (calendar): for changes made to the calendar browser app.
- (sayings): for changes made to the quotes browser app.
- (lives): for changes made to the lives browser app.
- (ui): for changes made to ui components used in both the website and browser apps.
- (server): for changes made to the tRPC routes and procedures.
- (db): for changes made to the database schema.
- (auth): for changes related to user auth.
- (styles): for changes related to general styles.
When all that's done, it's time to file a pull request to upstream:
gh pr create --web
and fill out the title and body appropriately. Again, make sure to follow the conventional commit guidelines for your title.
