# Contributing
This guide is for setting-up the graphql-engine server for development on your
own machine, and how to contribute.
## Pre-requisites
- [stack](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-install)
- A postgres server (Recommended: Use docker to run a local postgres instance)
- GNU Make (optional)
## Development workflow
### Fork and clone
- Fork the repo on GitHub
- Clone your forked repo: `git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/graphql-engine`
### Compile
- `cd graphql-engine`
- `stack build --fast`
### Run
- Make sure postgres is running
- Create a database on postgres
- Run the binary: `stack exec graphql-engine -- --database-url=<database-url>`
### Work
- Work on the feature/fix
- Add testcases if relevant
### Test
- Run tests: `stack test --ta --database-url=<database-url>`
### Create Pull Request
- Make sure your commit messages meet the [guidelines](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
- Create a pull request from your forked repo to the main repo.
- Every pull request will automatically build and run the tests.
## Code conventions
This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers.
- Compiler warnings are turned on, make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use [hlint](https://github.com/ndmitchell/hlint) to make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use [stylish-haskell](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell) to format your code.
