First, create a fork of the open-wc/open-wc repo by hitting the fork button on the GitHub page.
Next, clone your fork onto your computer with this command (replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username)
git clone [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/open-wc.git
Once cloning is complete, change directory to the repo.
cd open-wc
Now that you have cloned the repository, run the following commands to set up the development environment.
yarn install
This will download and install all packages needed.
Make your changes to the project. Commits are linted using precommit hooks, meaning that any code that raises linting error cannot be committed. In order to help avoid that, we recommend using an IDE or editor with an eslint plugin in order to streamline the development process. Plugins are available for all the popular editors. For more information see ESLint Integrations
Open WC uses commitlint to standardize commit messages in the project. Commit messages must follow the conventional commit format
Open WC uses package name as scope. So for example if you fix a terrible bug in the package @open-wc/testing, the commit message should look like this:
fix(testing): fix terrible bug
