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

Local Development Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+ (or Bun 1.0+)
• Docker (for PostgreSQL and Redis)
• Git 2.30+

Step 1: Clone & Install

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

Step 2: Database Setup

Start PostgreSQL and Redis:

docker-compose up -d postgres redis

Copy and configure environment:

cp .env.example .env
# The default .env.example works with docker-compose services

Push schema to database:

npm run db:push

Step 3: Seed & Run

# Create admin user
bun run scripts/seed-admin.ts

# Start dev server
npm run dev

Visit http://localhost:4321.

Running Tests

We use Vitest for unit/integration tests and Playwright for E2E tests.

# Run all tests
npm run test

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage

# Run specific test file
npx vitest run tests/unit/auth.test.ts

# Watch mode
npx vitest --watch

Current status: 546 tests passing across 114 test files (100% pass rate)

Code Quality

npm run lint          # Astro check
npm run typecheck     # TypeScript check
npm run test          # Test suite
