The contributing guide explains the repo layout, the Turborepo-based workflow, and a local testing trick using `pnpm pack:local` to bundle packages as tarballs for testing changes in a real scaffolded app before submitting a PR. Contributors don't need to deal with changesets or version management. ## Content The whole framework, core, CLI, adapter, Studio, templates now lives in a single repo. The new guide covers the layout, the Turborepo workflow, and a neat trick: `pnpm pack:local` packs every package as tarballs so you can test your changes in a real scaffolded app before opening a PR. No changesets or version juggling required from contributors. 👉 [https://doc.expresso-ts.com/docs/contributing](https://doc.expresso-ts.com/docs/contributing) --- Tags: [#general-programming](https://daily.dev/tags/general-programming), [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#pnpm](https://daily.dev/tags/pnpm) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/expressots-how-to-contribute-to-the-framework-qimecadha) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/expressots-how-to-contribute-to-the-framework-qimecadha","headline":"ExpressoTS, how to contribute to the framework","text":"ExpressoTS has consolidated all its packages — core, CLI, adapter, Studio, and templates — into a single monorepo.
