Contributing to Evergreen
🍴 Step 1. Fork this repository
In order to contribute to Evergreen, you need to fork this repo, and develop on your own local clone.
If you don't know how to do so, follow this guide!
📖 Step 2. Get storybook up and running
First, move into your local cloned repository with the help of cd, after that install your node_modules with:
$ yarn
To actually start seeing the components you have to run React Storybook with the command:
$ yarn dev
Now go to http://localhost:6006 in your browser.
🛠 Step 3. Make your change
Now you can start developing! All of the components are under the src directory and associated code changes will automatically be reflected in StoryBook.
If necessary, we encourage you to update the documentation so Evergreen users will be aware of your new features/changes.
In order to run the documentation page locally, run these commands in your terminal:
$ yarn build
$ cd docs
$ yarn install
$ yarn dev
Now you can visit http://localhost:3000/ in your browser.
Documentation code is under the docs directory. A big portion of these docs are written in MDX, if you've never used MDX before, check out these docs.
🏆 Step 4. Making your pull request
Once you're done with making your changes, push everything to your local repository's branch.
From here, you can open up a pull request from your forked repository's branch into segmentio/evergreen's master branch.
In your PR description, explain the changes you made, why you made them, how to test them, and anything that might be a point of interest.
Once you create your PR, it will be reviewed and hopefully merged quickly!
