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 to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a CodeFlow button on PRs to review them without a local setup.

Local Setup

Clone the repository and run on the root folder:

pnpm i
