Fork this project on GitHub and clone it locally. -2. Create a new branch from `master` and give it a descriptive name (e.g., `my-new-feature`, `fix-a-bug`). -3.

Create a new branch from the default branch and give it a descriptive name (e.g., `my-new-feature`, `fix-a-bug`). +3. After completing the development, submit a new _Pull Request_. + +## Modifying JavaScript + +If your contribution involves JS modification, please read the following sections. + +### Inline Scripts + +If you need to add comments to the inline JS (the JS code between the tags ``), please use `/**/` instead of two slashes `//`. Because the HTML will be compressed by [jekyll-compress-html](https://github.com/penibelst/jekyll-compress-html) during deployment, but it cannot handle the `//` properly. And this will disrupt the structure of the compressed HTML. + +### External Scripts + +If you need to add or modify JavaScripts in the directory `_javascript`, you need to install [Gulp.js](https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/getting-started/quick-start). + +During development, real-time debugging can be performed through the following commands: + +```console +$ bash tools/run.sh +``` + +Open another terminal tab and run: + +```console +$ gulp dev # Type 'Ctrl + C' to stop +``` + +After debugging, run the command `gulp` (without any argument) will automatically output the compressed files to the directory `assests/js/dist/`. ---
