Development

All contributors are welcome. Feel free to fork away and submit pull requests for any new features, enhancements, or bug fixes that you would like to add.

It is preferred but not required that you submit an issue prior to doing any development. Also, please try to observe basic pull request etiquette:

• Do every bug fix/feature/enhancement on its own branch and never on the master branch.
• If any upstream commits have been made on master, rebase prior to submitting the pull request.
• Commit often like a responsible developer, but clean up and squash your commits on your pull request.
• You can find more info on forking and pull requests here.

Development Quick Start

This project utilizes the task runner Grunt and package manager Bower to make development as smooth and to decouple this repository from its third-party dependencies.

0. Install NPM & Grunt.js

NPM is included with Node.js - if you don't already have it, you can get it at http://nodejs.org/. Verify your install by running the following command at the command line:

npm -v

With NPM installed, you can install the Grunt.js CLI (command line interface) by running the following command at the command line:

npm install -g grunt-cli

1. Fork and clone to your machine

Click the fork button on the main repo and then clone it to your machine.

2. Install dependencies

cd into this project's directory and run the following command to install both the NPM and Bower dependencies:

npm install

3. Develop & Build

Run grunt at the command line to build the project.

On the Chrome Extensions page enable Developer mode, click the Load unpacked extension..., and point it to the dist directory that was created by running the Grunt.js build.

You can run grunt dev at the command line to automatically rebuild as you make changes. Refresh the Chrome Extensions page to reload the extension and see your changes there.
