Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

This project doesn't have an styleguide yet but you should follow the existing code. Before create any pull requests make sure that all tests are passing.

### Development Environment

[](#development-environment)

To setup de development environment first download [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and create a virtual machine:

```
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default
eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

```

Then run:

```
docker-compose up

```

This will create a WordPress and a theme with Ampersand installed as dependency.

If you want to modify the theme files, take a look at the `test/theme` directory. These files are copied during the `docker-compose up` command, so if you change anything in these files you need to terminate the process and run again.
