1. Fork it (https://github.com/username/my-awesome-plugin/fork)
2. Clone the fork using git clone to your local development machine.
3. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
6. Create a new Pull Request

To release a new version of the plugin, simply bump up the version number in both version.rb and package.json, and then run script/release. This will require you to have a registered account with both the RubyGems.org and NPM registries. You can optionally remove the package.json and frontend folder if you don't need to package frontend assets for Webpack.

If you run into any problems or need further guidance, please check out our Bridgetown community resources where friendly folks are standing by to help you build and release your plugin or theme.

NOTE: make sure you add the bridgetown-plugin topic to your plugin's GitHub repo so the plugin or theme will show up on Bridgetown's official Plugin Directory! (There may be a day or so delay before you see it appear.)
