# Old Contributing Guide
Please read in detail about how to contribute documentation and code on the [Mermaid documentation site.](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/development)
---
# Mermaid contribution cheat-sheet
## Requirements
- [volta](https://volta.sh/) to manage node versions.
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/). `volta install node`
- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) package manager. `volta install pnpm`
## Development Installation
If you don't have direct access to push to mermaid repositories, make a fork first. Then clone. Or clone directly from mermaid-js:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:mermaid-js/mermaid.git
cd mermaid
```
Install required packages:
```bash
# npx is required for first install as volta support for pnpm is not added yet.
npx pnpm install
pnpm test # run unit tests
pnpm dev # starts a dev server
```
Open <http://localhost:9000> in your browser after starting the dev server.
You can also duplicate the `example.html` file in `demos/dev`, rename it and add your own mermaid code to it.
That will be served at <http://localhost:9000/dev/your-file-name.html>.
### Docker
If you are using docker and docker-compose, you have self-documented `run` bash script, which is a convenient alias for docker-compose commands:
```bash
./run install # npx pnpm install
./run test # pnpm test
```
## Testing
```bash
# Run unit test
pnpm test
# Run unit test in watch mode
pnpm test:watch
# Run E2E test
pnpm e2e
# Debug E2E tests
pnpm dev
pnpm cypress:open # in another terminal
```
## Branch name format:
```text
[feature | bug | chore | docs]/[issue number]_[short description using dashes ('-') or underscores ('_') instead of spaces]
```
eg: `feature/2945_state-diagram-new-arrow-florbs`, `bug/1123_fix_random_ugly_red_text`
## Documentation
Documentation is necessary for all non bugfix/refactoring changes.
Only make changes to files that are in [`/packages/mermaid/src/docs`](packages/mermaid/src/docs)
**_DO NOT CHANGE FILES IN `/docs` MANUALLY_**
The `/docs` folder will be rebuilt and committed as part of a pre-commit hook.
