Elk is in early alpha, but it is already quite usable. We would love your feedback and contributions.

Check out the [Open Issues](https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues) and jump in the action. Join the [Elk discord server](https://chat.elk.zone) to learn more and get involved!

The client is deployed to [elk.zone](https://elk.zone), you can share screenshots on social media but avoid sharing this URL or the discord server until we open the repo.

> **Note** 
> If you would like to contribute, until the repo is open, please create branches in the main repository and send a PR from there.

# Contributing

Hi! 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](https://stackblitz.com/codeflow) to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a CodeFlow button on PRs to review them without a local setup.

[![Open in Codeflow](https://developer.stackblitz.com/img/open_in_codeflow.svg)](https://pr.new/elk-zone/elk)

## Local Setup

Clone the repository and run on the root folder:

```
pnpm i
pnpm run dev
```

We recommend installing [ni](https://github.com/antfu/ni#ni), that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If `ni` is installed, you can instead run:

```
ni
nr dev
```

## Testing

Elk uses [Vitest](https://vitest.dev). You can run the test suite with:

```
nr test
```
