# Instructions for Contributing Code
## Some things in general
As Typescript is a big codebase, so some might run into issues while cloning this repo. Hence, it is advisable to use
`git clone --depth=1 <remote-url>` to clone it faster.
Run `jake build` after every change. If you want to test it locally in some another project then use `node <path-to-local-typescript-folder>/built/local/tsc.js` in place of `tsc` in your project. For example, to run `tsc --watch`, use `node <path-to-local-typescript-folder>/TypeScript/built/local/tsc.js --watch`.
## Contributing bug fixes
TypeScript is currently accepting contributions in the form of bug fixes. A bug must have an issue tracking it in the issue tracker that has been approved ("Milestone == Community") by the TypeScript team. Your pull request should include a link to the bug that you are fixing. If you've submitted a PR for a bug, please post a comment in the bug to avoid duplication of effort.
