VitePress Contributing Guide
Hi! We're really excited that you are interested in contributing to VitePress. Before submitting your contribution, please make sure to take a moment and read through the following guidelines:
Pull Request Guidelines
Checkout a topic branch from the relevant branch, e.g.
main, and merge back against that branch.If adding a new feature:
- Provide a convincing reason to add this feature. Ideally, you should open a suggestion issue first and have it approved before working on it.
If fixing bug:
- Provide a detailed description of the bug in the PR. Live demo preferred.
It's OK to have multiple small commits as you work on the PR - GitHub can automatically squash them before merging.
Commit messages must follow the commit message convention so that changelogs can be automatically generated.
Development Setup
You will need pnpm
After cloning the repo, run:
# install the dependencies of the project
$ pnpm install
# setup git hooks
$ pnpm simple-git-hooks
Setup VitePress Dev Environment
The easiest way to start testing out VitePress is to tweak the VitePress docs. You may run pnpm run docs to boot up VitePress documentation site locally, with live reloading of the source code.
$ pnpm run docs
After executing the above command, visit http://localhost:5173 and try modifying the source code. You'll get live update.
If you don't need docs site up and running, you may start VitePress local dev environment with pnpm run dev.
$ pnpm run dev
