Why CONTRIBUTING.md is Important
Adding a CONTRIBUTING.md file will make it much easier for new contributors (like me) to get up to speed — from understanding the tech stack and project setup to submitting clean PRs. It reduces friction, boosts collaboration, and helps maintain code quality.
What a CONTRIBUTING.md Can Include
- Prerequisites & Tech Stack Overview
(Frontend / Backend / Database, etc.)
- Project Setup
- How to clone and set up the project locally
- How to run the dev server or API locally
- Contribution Workflow
- Guidelines for creating issues
- Steps for submitting Pull Requests
- Code Standards
- Code formatting and linting rules
- Best Practices
- Any project-specific conventions or workflows
