Welcome to WordCamp Contributor Day! We appreciate you sharing your time with WP-CLI.
We'd love to help you submit at least one pull request, so we put together this guide to make it as straightforward as possible. We're here to support you however we can.
When you submit your pull request, add Related https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/5985 so we can see all pull requests created during the day. We'll give these some special promotion in the next release notes.
Your table leads for the day are: schlessera, BrianHenryIE
A few seasoned WP-CLI contributors are also helping out: TBD
If you normally use WP-CLI on your web host or via Brew, you're most likely using the Phar executable. The Phar executable is the "built", single-file version of WP-CLI. It's compiled from a couple dozen repositories in the WP-CLI GitHub organization, so modifying WP-CLI requires working amongst those repositories.
Before you can work on WP-CLI, you'll need to first make sure you have PHP and a functioning MySQL or MariaDB server. Once those prerequisites are met, install the wp-cli-dev development environment to start contributing:
git clone https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli-dev
cd wp-cli-dev
composer install
The wp-cli-dev installation process clones all of WP-CLI's repositories to your local machine. After it's complete, you'll be able to make changes in whichever repository you'd like. However, you'll need to fork the repository and add it as a remote in order to push your feature branch.
All WP-CLI pull requests are expected to have tests. See running and writing tests for a complete introduction.
To help you be successful during Contributor Day, we curated a list of reasonably approachable and actionable issues. Feel free to comment directly on the issue if you plan to work on it. We don't usually assign issues, so no need to worry about that.
