Looking for the Ethereum blockchain's code?

If you're looking for the Ethereum blockchain itself, there is no single repo. Instead, Ethereum has multiple implementations of the protocol written in different programming languages for security and diversity. Check out the different implementations

How to contribute

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind are welcome!

1. Submit an issue

Create a new issue.
Comment on the issue (if you'd like to be assigned to it) - that way our team can assign the issue to you.

More information on the issue creation process, and expectations around creating issues can be found here.

2. Fork the repository (repo)

If you're not sure, here's how to fork the repo.

3. Set up your local environment (optional)

If you're ready to contribute and create your PR, it will help to set up a local environment so you can see your changes.

Clone your fork

If this is your first time forking our repo, this is all you need to do for this step:

git clone [email protected]:[your_github_handle]/ethereum-org-website.git && cd ethereum-org-website

If you've already forked the repo, you'll want to ensure your fork is configured and that it's up to date. This will save you the headache of potential merge conflicts.

To configure your fork:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website.git

To sync your fork with the latest changes:

git checkout dev
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/dev

Install dependencies

We recommend using a node manager to use multiple node versions in your system. We use Volta. In case you don't use a manager or you use nvm, you can check the currently supported versions under the "volta" section on our package.json file.

yarn

4. Make awesome changes!

Create new branch for your changes

git checkout -b new_branch_name

Start developing!

yarn dev

Open this directory in your favorite text editor / IDE, and see your changes live by visiting localhost:3000 from your browser
Pro Tip:
- Explore scripts within package.json for more build options
- Get faster production builds by building only one language. E.g. in your .env file, set BUILD_LOCALES=en to build the content only in English
- To build the site in other selected languages too, you need to set them in BUILD_LOCALES, eg: BUILD_LOCALES=en,es if you also want to build only English (required) and Spanish.
- To build all languages, simply comment this line out with a hash mark, eg: # BUILD_LOCALES=

By default the script will build all the languages (complete list in i18n.config.json).

Commit and prepare for pull request (PR). In your PR commit message, reference the issue it resolves (see how to link a commit message to an issue using a keyword).

git commit -m "brief description of changes [Fixes #1234]"

Push to your GitHub account

5. Submit your PR

In your PR description, reference the issue it resolves (see linking a pull request to an issue using a keyword)
