# Contributing
Welcome to the Pelican project! We are excited to have you contribute to our open-source project. This guide will help you get started with setting up your development environment, understanding our coding standards, and making your first or next contribution.
## Getting started
To start contributing to Pelican Panel, you need to have a basic understanding of the following:
* [PHP](https://php.net) & [Laravel](https://laravel.com)
* [Livewire](https://laravel-livewire.com) & [Filament](https://filamentphp.com)
* [Git](https://git-scm.com) & [Github](https://github.com)
## Dev Environment Setup
1. Fork the Repository
2. Clone your Fork
3. Install Dependencies (PHP modules & composer, and run `composer install`)
4. Configure your Environment (via `php artisan p:environment:setup`)
5. Set up your Database (via `php artisan p:environment:database`) and run Migrations (via `php artisan migrate --seed --force`)
6. Create your first Admin User (via `php artisan p:user:make`)
7. Start your Webserver (e.g. Nginx or Apache)
As IDE we recommend [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com)/ [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) (free) or [PhpStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm) (paid).
To easily install PHP and the Webserver we recommend Laravel Herd. ([Windows](https://herd.laravel.com/windows) & [macOS](https://herd.laravel.com))
The (paid) Pro version of Laravel Herd also offers easy MySQL and Redis hosting, but it is not needed.
## Coding Standards
We use PHPStan/ [Larastan](https://github.com/larastan/larastan) and PHP-CS-Fixer/ [Pint](https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/pint) to enforce certain code styles and standards.
You can run PHPStan via `\vendor\bin\phpstan analyse` and Pint via `\vendor\bin\pint`.
## Making Contributions
From your forked repository, make your own changes on your own branch. (do not make changes directly to `main`!)
When you are ready, you can submit a pull request to the Pelican repository. If you still work on your pull request or need help with something make sure to mark it as Draft.
Also, please make sure that your pull requests are as targeted and simple as possible and don't do a hundred things at a time. If you want to add/ change/ fix 5 different things you should make 5 different pull requests.
*Note: For now we only accept pull requests that handle existing issues!*
## Code Review Process
Your pull request will then be reviewed by the maintainers.
Once you have an approval from a maintainer, another will merge it once its confirmed.
Depending on the pull request size this process can take multiple days.
