This commit completely overhauls the README to prominently feature the new Orca CLI orchestration capabilities. It also revamps the page structure for better conversion by adding trust badges, explicit cross-platform support text, a 'Quick Start' guide, and a dedicated 'Why Orca?' section. Lastly, the CONTRIBUTING.md guide was updated to encourage contributors to provide their Twitter handle for shoutouts.

# Contributing to Orca
|
|
|
|
Thanks for contributing to Orca.
|
|
|
|
## Before You Start
|
|
|
|
- Keep changes scoped to a clear user-facing improvement, bug fix, or refactor.
|
|
- Orca targets macOS, Linux, and Windows. Avoid platform-specific assumptions in shortcuts, labels, and file paths.
|
|
- For keyboard shortcuts, use runtime platform checks in renderer code and `CmdOrCtrl` in Electron menu accelerators.
|
|
- For shortcut labels, show `⌘` and `⇧` on macOS, and `Ctrl+` and `Shift+` on Linux and Windows.
|
|
- For file paths, use Node or Electron path utilities such as `path.join`.
|
|
|
|
## Local Setup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm install
|
|
pnpm dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Branch Naming
|
|
|
|
Use a clear, descriptive branch name that reflects the change.
|
|
|
|
Good examples:
|
|
|
|
- `fix/ctrl-backspace-delete-word`
|
|
- `feat/shift-enter-newline`
|
|
- `chore/update-contributor-guide`
|
|
|
|
Avoid vague names like `test`, `misc`, or `changes`.
|
|
|
|
## Before Opening a PR
|
|
|
|
Run the same checks that CI runs:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm lint
|
|
pnpm typecheck
|
|
pnpm test
|
|
pnpm build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add high-quality tests for behavior changes and bug fixes. Prefer tests that would actually catch a regression, not shallow coverage that only exercises the happy path.
|
|
|
|
If your change affects UI or interaction behavior, verify it on the platforms it could impact.
|
|
|
|
## Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
Each pull request should:
|
|
|
|
- explain the user-visible change
|
|
- stay focused on a single topic when possible
|
|
- include screenshots or screen recordings for new UI or behavior changes
|
|
- include high-quality tests when behavior changes or bug fixes warrant them
|
|
- include a brief code review summary from your AI coding agent that explicitly checks cross-platform compatibility, plus a basic security audit summary
|
|
- mention any platform-specific behavior or testing notes
|
|
- **Include your X (Twitter) handle!** We love giving shoutouts to our contributors when we merge features on [@orca_build](https://x.com/orca_build).
|
|
|
|
If there is no visual change, say that explicitly in the PR description.
|
|
|
|
## Release Process
|
|
|
|
Version bumps, tags, and releases are maintainer-managed. Do not include release version changes in a normal contribution unless a maintainer asks for them.
