## Get the source code
The source is hosted on [Github][omp]. When you want to contribute, create a [fork][gh-fork] so you can make changes in
your repository and create a pull request in the official Oh My Posh repository.
To clone your fork of Oh My Posh locally, open the terminal and replace `<user>` with your Github username.
```powershell
git clone git@github.com:<user>/oh-my-posh.git
```
## Install dependencies
<Tabs

groupId="git"
values={[
{ label: 'Manual', value: 'manual', },
{ label: 'Winget', value: 'winget', },
]
}>
<TabItem value="manual">
### go
The codebase is in [go][go], meaning we need a working go setup before we can do anything else.
Have a look at the [go guide][go-started] to get up and running with go in no time!
:::caution
Oh My Posh needs at least go 1.22
:::
### golangci-lint
To make sure we keep on writing quality code, [golang-ci lint][golang-ci-lint] is used to validate the changes.
Have a look at the [local installation guide][golang-ci-lint-local] to make sure you can validate this yourself as well.
### nodejs
The documentation is written in markdown and uses [Docusaurus][docusaurus] to generate the website. To validate your
changes, you'll need to have [nodejs] installed so you can run the website locally.
### Visual Studio Code
If you're not using Visual Studio Code yet, it's a great editor to work with go and the project has the configuration built-in.
You can download it [here][code].
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="winget">
The project has a [winget] [configuration][winget-configuration] file available to install the dependencies.
Navigate to the cloned repository and use winget to install the dependencies:
```powershell
winget configure configurations/configuration.dsc.yaml
```
Done! Restart the terminal and you're ready to continue below.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Configure Visual Studio Code
A default config (.vscode folder) for [Visual Studio Code][code] is available in the repo:
- `golangci-lint` is configured as the default linter.
- recommended extensions available for a smooth bootstrap.
- default run and debug configurations available.
Once the extensions are installed:
- debug can be started by hitting F5.
- all tests can be run using the Test explorer.
## Running tests
The go source code can be found in the `src/` directory, make sure to navigate to that one before continuing.
### Unit tests
```powershell
go test -v ./...
```
### golangci-lint
```powershell
golangci-lint run
```
## Building the app
The easiest way to validate your changes is to write tests. Unfortunately, as it's a visual tool, you'll want to validate
the changes by running the prompt in your shell as well.
If you already have Oh My Posh in your `PATH`, you'll need to either use that one as an output parameter, or make sure
that the `$GOPATH/bin/` folder precedes the Oh My Posh binary in your `PATH`.
```powershell
go build -o (Get-Command oh-my-posh.exe).Source
```
Alternatively:
```powershell
$env:PATH = "$env:GOPATH\bin;$env:PATH"
go build -o $GOPATH/bin/oh-my-posh
```
## Run the website locally
Open your terminal and navigate to the `website` folder in the repository. Install the dependencies and start the website:
```powershell
npm install
npm start
```
This will start a local server on `http://localhost:3000` where you can see your changes.
### Extra tips
#### Configure Delve in VS Code
[Delve][delve] config is restrictive by default(string limit especially). You can expand some limits in VS Code(`settings.json` or directly in `launch.json`):
```
"go.delveConfig": {
"dlvLoadConfig": {
"followPointers": true,
"maxVariableRecurse": 3,
"maxStringLen": 400,
"maxArrayValues": 400,
"maxStructFields": -1
},
"apiVersion": 2,
"showGlobalVariables": false
}
```
