Contributing

Feel free to contribute, but as this repository release cycle is fully automated using GitHub Actions Workflows & Semantic Release, so make sure your commit messages follow Conventional Commits Specification.

Features for Contributors

  • Interactive commit with Commitizen.

    Once you are done making your changes, you can run npx cz to bring up a prompt which needs to be filled in according to the Conventional Commits Specification.

  • Print debugging with Symfony Var Dumper.

    Debugging CLI applications is very difficult, especially when you are dealing with complex data structures. So to minimize this problem, you can also do print debugging where the results of something you print appear in the browser.

  • Developing inside a Container with Visual Studio Code Remote Container.

    If you want to develop or explore the source code in this repository further, but you are lazy to install PHP, Composer, Node.js, and various other dependencies. You can also use VS Code Remote Container, just make sure you have Docker & VS Code with Remote Containers installed.
