Contributing to Editor.Land

Editor.Land is open source and welcomes contributions. The full contributing guide is at CONTRIBUTING.md on GitHub.

Quick Start

Fork and clone the repository with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Land.git
cd Land

Install Node.js dependencies:
```
pnpm install
```
Start the development build:
```
cargo tauri dev
```
This compiles Mountain and opens the editor window. The first run downloads and compiles Rust dependencies from scratch — allow a few minutes on a fresh checkout. Subsequent builds use Cargo’s incremental compilation cache and are significantly faster.
Create a branch from Current and make your changes. The project uses PascalCase naming for files, identifiers, and settings keys throughout the codebase.
Open a pull request against the Current branch with a clear description of what changed and why.

Ways to Contribute

Code — Rust or TypeScript fixes, features, or performance improvements
Documentation — Correcting inaccuracies, adding missing context, or improving clarity on any doc page
Testing — Bug reports with reproductions, test coverage for Cocoon or Mountain
Design — UI/UX improvements for the editor or this website

Submodule Workflow

Each Land element (Mountain, Cocoon, Sky, Wind, Vine, Air, Echo, and others) is a separate Git repository referenced as a submodule. When working on a specific element:

cd Land/Mountain   # or whichever element
git checkout -b MyFeatureBranch
# make changes
git commit -m "Description"

Then update the submodule reference in the parent Land repo and open pull requests against both the element repo and the Land repo if the change affects the pinned submodule commit.
