You can find out more on how to get started on the [**Contribution Docs**](https://wirechat.namuio.com/docs/contribution). ### Local development [](#local-development) Wirechat is a Laravel package, so contributors should work from a fork and keep each change on a focused branch: ``` git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/wirechat.git cd wirechat composer install cp .env.example .env ``` The package uses the workbench application for local development and Orchestra Testbench for automated tests. Before opening a pull request, run the checks that match your change: ``` composer test php vendor/bin/pest php vendor/bin/pint --test php vendor/bin/phpstan analyse ``` Documentation-only changes do not usually require the full test suite, but code changes should include a focused test run and any relevant formatting or static analysis checks.
