# Contributing

## Dependency compatibility

When contributing to this project, please ensure the versions of these core dependencies are consistent across all packages

## Branching

Most up-to-date branches:

* `main`, `v1`, ...

Release tags (code freeze):

* `react-native-the-sheet@1.0.0`, `react-native-the-sheet@2.0.0`, ...

## Versioning

We use @changesets/cli for managing versioning and releases

* We will use lockstep versioning for simplicity

## Testing

### Manual testing

* When you change something, make sure to manually test it in the example Expo app

### Android edge-to-edge testing

* When testing `edge-to-edge` features for Android target SDK 35-:
  * Adjust config accordingly in `apps/example-expo/app.config.ts`
  * There are 3 different cases we need to test
* To enable `non-edge-to-edge` mode in Android, run `pnpm ete:disable && pnpm android:clean`
  * Also need to delete `react-native-edge-to-edge` from `plugins` in `app.config.ts` for the example Expo app
* To enable `edge-to-edge` mode in Android, run `pnpm ete:enable && pnpm android:clean`
  * Also need to write `react-native-edge-to-edge` to `plugins` in `app.config.ts` for the example Expo app

### Android keyboard mode testing

* When updating keyboard mode for Android, don't forget to adjust `androidWindowSoftInputMode` in `apps/example-expo/app/_layout.tsx`

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://the-sheet.gitbook.io/the-sheet-v2/contributing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
