🧚 CONTRIBUTING 🧚

Wanna contribute? Obsessed. You can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. 🫶

Also, most of the time you literally do not need to build the distribution yourself. You can just modify the code, then test it like this:

% prove -l

If you do want to build the distribution (like, say, to try installing it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any extra steps you need beyond that? That's considered a bug and you can report it to me. 🐛

ngl anything past those listed steps is officially a bug, so don't let it gaslight you into thinking you did it wrong bestie.
