## Contributing


> This project is hosted by Smashing Boxes but so many awesome contributors have had a big impact on the code. Thanks to all the amazing people who spent hours helping me with the development and teaching me new tricks!

If you are looking to support Owl Carousel with your amazing ideas (or just fix some nasty bugs) then go to [Github]({{ pkg.homepage }}) and fork the project.

### Some tips for contributors

Owl Carousel is built around Grunt, Bower and Assemble frameworks. If you are not familiar with those tools please visit:

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* [Yeoman](http://yeoman.io/)
* [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/)
* [Bower](http://bower.io/)
* [Assemble](http://assemble.io/)

### Installation dependecies

Open Terminal, go to folder with project and type:
```
npm install
```
Then install bower components
```
bower install
```
### Grunt Tasks

The default task runs two other tasks: `dist` and `docs`. Type grunt to run default:

```
grunt
```

Now that the whole project is generated, run the last grunt task:

```
grunt serve
```

This creates localhost server and opens docs in your default browser. `watch` tasks will look for any changes and will automatically update the project and reload the browser.

Now you are ready to make some cool updates by yourself. Owl project is in `src` folder. Also dont change `src/css/*.css` - all css files are generated from sass.

> Happy Coding
