## 🐞 Issues and Pull requests
We value contributions in the form of discussions or suggestions. We recommend taking a look at existing issues and our [roadmap ](https://github.com/orgs/arc53/projects/2 ).
If you're interested in contributing code, here are some important things to know:
We have a frontend built with React (Vite) and a backend in Python.
### If you are looking to contribute to frontend (⚛️ React, Vite):
- The current frontend is being migrated from `/application` to `/frontend` with a new design, so please contribute to the new one.
- Check out this [milestone ](https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT/milestone/1 ) and its issues.
- The Figma design can be found [here ](https://www.figma.com/file/OXLtrl1EAy885to6S69554/DocsGPT?node-id=0%3A1&t=hjWVuxRg9yi5YkJ9-1 ).
Please try to follow the guidelines.
### If you are looking to contribute to Backend (🐍 Python):
- Review our issues and contribute to /application or /scripts (please disregard old ingest_rst.py and ingest_rst_sphinx.py files; they will be deprecated soon).
- All new code should be covered with unit tests ([pytest](https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest)). Please find tests under [`/tests` ](https://github.com/arc53/DocsGPT/tree/main/tests ) folder.
- Before submitting your Pull Request, ensure it can be queried after ingesting some test data.
### Testing
To run unit tests from the root of the repository, execute:
```
python -m pytest
```

Fork the repository, make your changes on your forked version, and then submit those changes as a pull request.
