Contributor Guide and Workflows
We welcome submissions of developer tools, free APIs, AI agents, testing utilities, boilerplates, and startup perks!
The quickest way to recommend a resource is to open an interactive issue template on GitHub:
Maintainers review incoming issues, verify endpoints, and merge them into the repository.
If you prefer submitting directly via Git:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/DevShelf.git
cd DevShelf
pnpm installChoose the matching file:
-
shelf/apis.json— Free public APIs -
shelf/cli-tools.json— Terminal and developer productivity utilities -
shelf/ai-tools.json— Open-source AI tools and local LLM runners -
shelf/testing-qa.json— Testing and QA frameworks -
shelf/free-cloud.json— Permanent free tiers -
shelf/contributors-wanted.json— Projects with open issues -
shelf/perks.json— Maintainer/student sponsorships -
shelf/boilerplates.json— 1-click deploy templates
Before opening a PR, ensure all automated verification scripts succeed:
# 1. Validate data schema
pnpm run validate
# 2. Audit URLs and deduplicate
node scripts/validate-links.js
# 3. Format code with Biome
pnpm run format:check
# 4. Rebuild README, docs, and web app data
pnpm run buildgit checkout -b add-tool-name
git commit -m "feat(shelf): add ToolName to cli-tools.json"
git push origin add-tool-nameOpen a Pull Request against main. Our CI will automatically verify your changes.
