How to Contribute?

All kind of contribution is welcomed. You can always create an issue at GitHub.

If you want to work on code and send a pull request, we highly recommend you to create an issue first to discuss how to implement it and to be aligned with the roadmap of Ship.js.

Working on code

  1. Fork the project
  2. Clone the repository
  3. Install the dependencies: yarn install

Ship.js is using yarn workspace for its monorepo structure.

Ship.js consists of two packages:

  • shipjs: CLI package
  • shipjs-lib: A library package used by shipjs

Testing and linting

We ask you to write test cases whenever you make a change. You can run tests by the following commands:

yarn workspace shipjs test:watch

or

yarn workspace shipjs-lib test:watch

And please make sure your code passes eslint.

yarn lint

Always reach out to us on GitHub when you are blocked in any way during the contribution.

Testing your code in action

If you've made some change in prepare command, you can run it over your test repository like the following:

yarn workspace shipjs test:run:prepare --dir ~/workspace/your-test-repository

Contributors list

When you make a contribution, you can be on the contributors list.

Run the following command and send a new pull request.

yarn contributors:add <your-github-username> <contribution-type>

For example,

yarn contributors:add eunjae-lee code,doc

Ship.js is using all-contributors to maintain the contributors list.

The full list of contribution types can be found here.
