## Contributing
```sh
git clone https://github.com/N1ck/gifs-for-github
cd gifs-for-github
pnpm install
```
```sh
pnpm run watch # Listen to file changes and automatically rebuild
```
### Debug Mode
When developing, you can enable debug mode by setting the DEBUG environment variable:
```bash
DEBUG=true npm run build
```
This will output helpful logs prefixed with 🎨 when using the extension.
Once built, load it in the browser of your choice with [web-ext](https://github.com/mozilla/web-ext):
```sh
npx web-ext run --target=chromium # Open extension in Chrome
```
```sh
npx web-ext run # Open extension in Firefox
```
Or you can [load it manually in Chrome](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/04/browser-extension-edge-chrome-firefox-opera-brave-vivaldi/#google-chrome-opera-vivaldi) or [Firefox](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2017/04/browser-extension-edge-chrome-firefox-opera-brave-vivaldi/#mozilla-firefox).
