Tachiyomi Website Contributing Guide

Before submitting your contribution, please make sure to take a moment and read through the following guidelines:

• Code of Conduct
• Development Setup
• Project Structure

Development Setup

You will need Node.js version 20+, and pnpm version 8+.

After cloning the repo and entering the the directory, go to the /website folder and run:

# Installs any dependencies needed.
$ pnpm install

To run the project now, run:

# This command start a local server you can access and edit live.
$ pnpm dev

Commonly used PNPM scripts

# This command will generate a static site inside a dist directory in your project.
$ pnpm build

# Run this command to preview the built files in a local server.
$ pnpm preview

Please make sure to have pnpm test pass successfully before submitting a PR. Although the same tests will be run against your PR on the CI server, it is better to have it working locally.

It is also recommended you lint your files before the PR.
