Contributing Guide

Thank you for your interest in contributing to OpenCodeHub! We welcome contributions from everyone.

🛠 Local Development Setup

To contribute code, you need to set up the project locally.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: v18 or v20 (LTS).
• Bun: v1.0+ (Our package manager/runner).
• Docker: For running the database locally.

Step 1: Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/swadhinbiswas/OpencodeHub.git
cd OpencodeHub

# Install dependencies (fast!)
bun install

Step 2: Database Setup

Start a local Postgres and Redis instance using Docker:

docker-compose up -d postgres redis

Copy the environment config:

cp .env.example .env

Note: The default .env.example is pre-configured to work with the docker-compose services.

Push the schema to the database:

bun db:push

Step 3: Run the App

Start the development server:

bun dev

Visit http://localhost:3000.
