# Contributing
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the project!
Since this project is mostly done by myself (with my poor coding skills and a lot of internet searching & using LLM sometimes), I am really appreciate to have your help here. <3

## Ways to Contribute
If you like the project, but just don't have time to contribute, that's fine. :P
There are other easy ways to support the project and show your appreciation, which I would also be very happy about:
- Star the project
- Send posts about it
- Refer this project in your project's readme
- Consider donating to the project (see [Donations](#donations) section below)
## Opening Issues
- Before opening a new issue, please check the [existing issues](https://github.com/GrassBlock1/mercury/issues) to avoid duplicates
- There isn't any issue templates (yet), but please make sure you provide as much detail as possible about the issue including:
- Steps to reproduce
- Expected behavior
- Actual behavior
- Environment details (browser, OS, etc.)
- For feature requests, describe the feature and why you think it would be useful
For the language of the issue, please use English or Chinese. Both are OK, but using English is preferred as it allows more people to understand the issue and help with it.
If you are not comfortable with either, you can still use your native language (or use a translator), but I may not be able to fully understand it.
## Development
### Development Environment
This project is built using Astro, requiring a Node.js (v22.15.1 (lts) is recommended) environment.
You can set up your development environment by following these steps:
1. Set up `nvm` according to the [nvm README.md](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) (for fish users, please check [nvm.fish](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish))
2. Install Node.js version:
```bash
nvm install lts
```
3. The `pnpm` is used in this project, to install it (be sure to be in the nvm environment):
```bash
npm install -g pnpm
```
4. And then clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GrassBlock1/mercury.git
```
Or if you are in a network that doesn't allow you to access GitHub, you can also try:
```bash
git clone https://git.gb0.dev/gb/mercury
```
5. Change to the project directory and install dependencies:
```bash
cd mercury && pnpm install
```
You are all set! Now you can start developing. To start the development server:
```bash
pnpm dev
```
This will start a local server at `http://localhost:4321` and watch for changes in the source files.
### Code Style
This project has no style formatting tool like `prettier` (yet),but make sure you follow existing conventions.
- Use lower `camelCase` for Javascript constants and variables.
- Use 2 spaces for indents in code
- Follow existing patterns in the codebase
## Commits and Pull Requests
### Commits
Now you already made changes to the code and want to commit it. please:
- Make atomic commits (one feature/fix per commit)
- Follow [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) `(fix|chore|feat|refactor|revert): short description` styled message.
- Format: `type(scope,optional): description`
- Types: `fix, feat, chore, docs, style, refactor, test, revert`
- Example: `feat(auth): add Google login option`
### Pull Requests
- Create a new properly-named branch for your changes
- Make sure local tests (`astro build`) pass before submitting
- Link any related issues in the PR description (if any)
- Provide a clear description of the changes
For the language of the pull request message, please use English or Chinese. Both are OK, but using English is preferred as it allows more people to understand the issue and help with it.
If you are not comfortable with either, you can still use your native language (or use a translator), but I may not be able to fully understand it.
