📍 Roadmap
🧑💻 Contributing
We're really excited that you're interested in contributing to Elk! Before submitting your contribution, please read through the following guide.
Online
You can use StackBlitz Codeflow to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a Codeflow button on PRs to review them without a local setup. Once the elk repo has been cloned in Codeflow, the dev server will start automatically and print the URL to open the App. You should receive a prompt in the bottom-right suggesting to open it in the Editor or in another Tab. To learn more, check out the Codeflow docs.
Local Setup
Clone the repository and run on the root folder:
pnpm i
pnpm run dev
Warning
: you will need corepack
enabled, check out the Elk Contributing Guide for a detailed guide on how to set up the project locally.
We recommend installing ni, that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If ni
