# Contributing

Note we have a code of conduct, please follow it in all your interactions with the project.

> [!NOTE]
> Theme additions are no longer accepted due to the ever growing set.
> We do however accept showcasing your custom theme in the [themes discussion section here][themes-discussion]
> or the [themes channel on Discord][discord-link].

Ensure you've read through the [documentation][docs] so you understand the core concepts of the
project. If you're looking to get familiar with go, following the getting started [guide][guide]
can be a good starting point.

## Setting Up Agents and Skills

This project uses [APM (Agent Package Manager)][apm] to manage shared AI agent skills.
Project-specific skills live in `.github/skills/`, while shared skills are declared
in `apm.yml` and installed via APM.

### Install APM

```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/apm/main/install.sh | sh
```

Alternatively, install via Homebrew or pip:

```bash
brew install microsoft/apm/apm
# or
pip install apm-cli
```

### Install Skills

After cloning the repository, run:

```bash
apm install
```

This pulls in the shared skills from [JanDeDobbeleer/agentic][agentic] (conventional commits,
Go, Markdown, and PowerShell conventions). The project-specific skills (segment-create and
segment-docs) are already included in the repository.

## Pull Request Process

1. Ensure any dependencies or build artifacts are removed/ignored before creating a commit.
2. Commits follow the [conventional commits][cc] guidelines.
(You can [look up the supported *types*][cc-types] along with an explanation [in the documentation][cc-types])
3. Update the documentation with details of changes to the functionality, this includes new segments
   or core functionality.
4. Pull Requests are merged once all checks pass and a project maintainer has approved it.

## Codespaces / Devcontainer Development Environment

Arguably the easiest way to contribute anything is to use our prepared development environment.

We have a `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` file, meaning we are compatible with:

- [![Open in GitHub Codespaces][codespaces-badge]][codespaces-link], or
- the [Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers][devcontainer-ext] extension.

This Linux environment includes all shells supported by oh-my-posh, including Bash, ZSH,
Fish and PowerShell, the latter of which is the default.

### Configuring Devcontainer's Timezone & Theme

1. Open the [`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`][devcontainer] file and in the "*build*" section modify:

   - `TZ`: with [your own timezone][timezones]

2. Summon the Command Panel (Ctrl+Shift+P) and select `Codespaces: Rebuild Container`
   to rebuild your devcontainer. (This should take just a few seconds.)

### Recompiling oh-my-posh

The devcontainer definition preinstalls the latest stable oh-my-posh release at build time.

To overwrite the installation's version inside the running devcontainer, you may use the
VSCode *task* `devcontainer: build omp` to rebuild your oh-my-posh with that of
your running repository's state. (You might see a button for this in your statusbar.)

If the compile succeeds, `oh-my-posh --version` should reply:
`development`

Should you somehow mess up your devcontainer's OMP install catastrophically, remember that
if you do `Codespaces: Rebuild Container` again, you'll be back to the latest stable release.

## Local development

Make sure your local go version matches with the pinned version in [go.mod]. You can build
oh-my-posh by navigating the to the `/src` folder and executing the following command.

```bash
go build -v -o /path/to/oh-my-posh(.exe)
```

### Running tests

To execute the tests, run the following command from the `/src` folder.

```bash
go test "./..."
```
