Contribution Guide

Git Contribution

Perform all your changes on a fork of the base repository.

Open a pull request once you have completed your changes.

Don't forget to sync your fork and pull frequently in case any new changes that have been made to the base repository may conflict with your changes.


File Formatting

The same prettier config will be used for code formatting. It should be automatically applied when you use the VS Code prettier extension. If you are using something other than VS Code, try to see if a prettier extension is available for that.
