# Iconify Contributing Guide
Thank you for considering contributing to Iconify!
This guide should help you understand how repository is setup.
## Repository
This repository is a monorepo using `pnpm` workspaces.
Why `pnpm`? Because, unlike `npm`, it can handle multiple versions of the same dependency in one monorepo, which is required when using multiple versions of the same framework, such as Vue 2 and Vue 3.
### Installation, build and tests
To install dependencies in all packages, run
```bash
pnpm install
```
This will install all dependencies and create symbolic links to packages.
To build everything, run `pnpm run build` (this excludes demo packages).
To run unit tests, run `pnpm run test` (this excludes demo packages).
### Working with specific package
You can run any commands on any package from that package's directory.
For example, to build only `@iconify/utils` package, you can either:
- Change directory to `packages/utils`
- Run `pnpm build`
or you can use pnpm filters from root directory:
`pnpm --filter @iconify/utils run build`
or
`pnpm --filter ./packages/utils run build`
### NI
Consider installing [NI](https://github.com/antfu/ni), it makes it easy to work with any repository regardless of what package manager it uses.
Instead of figuring out if you should run `npm install` or `pnpm install` or `yarn install`, just run `ni` and it will execute current package manager, `nr build` to build, `nr test` to run tests test.
It is automatically installed if you are using Dev Container.
## Branches
There are several main branches:
- `main` contains stable version of packages.
- `next`, if exists, contains next major version.
There are also various archive and experimental branches.
## Dependencies
Please avoid adding new dependencies.
If a feature requires new dependency, first check if dependency you want to add is actively maintained and doesn't have many dependencies.

## Installation
## Installation, debugging and contributing
This monorepo uses [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) package manager.
Why pnpm? Because, unlike npm, it can handle multiple versions of the same dependency in one monorepo, which is required when using multiple versions of the same framework, such as Vue 2 and Vue 3.
To install dependencies in all packages, run
```bash
pnpm install
```
This will install all dependencies and create symbolic links to packages.
To build everything, run `pnpm run build` (this excludes demo packages).
To run unit tests, run `pnpm run test` (this excludes demo packages).
### Other commands
You can run any commands on any package from that package's directory.
For example, to build only `@iconify/utils` package, you can either:
- Change directory to `packages/utils`
- Run `pnpm build`
or you can use pnpm filters from root directory:
`pnpm --filter @iconify/utils run build`
or
`pnpm --filter ./packages/utils run build`
### NI
I suggest to install [NI](https://github.com/antfu/ni), it makes it easy to work with any repository regardless of what package manager it uses.
