Contributing

We love our contributors! Here's how you can contribute:

• Follow the local development guide to get your local dev environment set up.
• Make a pull request to add new features/make quality-of-life improvements/fix bugs.

Recommended Versions

Package	Version
node	v23.11.0
pnpm	9.15.9

Common Local Development Issues

• The table <table-name> does not exist in the current database. - Run pnpm prisma:push push the state of the Prisma schema file to the database without using migrations files.
• The project is not building correctly locally - verify your versions of node and pnpm match the recommended versions above. Delete all node_modules, .next, and .turbo directories in the apps and packages directory. You may now reinstall node_modules by running pnpm install and attempt to rebuild the project with pnpm build.

Dev Seed Script

This script seeds the database with development data for testing and development purposes.

Basic seeding (adds data without deleting existing data):

cd apps/web
pnpm run script dev/seed

Truncate database before seeding (deletes all existing data first):

cd apps/web
pnpm run script dev/seed --truncate

When using --truncate, the script will ask for confirmation before deleting any data.

Repo Activity

License

Dub Technologies, Inc. is a commercial open-source company, which means some parts of this open-source repository require a commercial license. The concept is called "Open Core" where the core technology (99%) is fully open source, licensed under AGPLv3 and the last 1% is covered under a commercial license ("/ee" Enterprise Edition) which we believe is entirely relevant for larger organisations that require enterprise features. Enterprise features are built by the core engineering team of Dub Technologies, Inc., which is hired full-time.
