-## Contributing Code
+# How to Contribute?
-### Before You Start
+## Testing
- Keep each pull request focused on a single feature or fix.
+* Test the latest changes to WinUtil by running the pre-release and reporting issues you are encountering to help us continually improve WinUtil!
 - Avoid unnecessary formatting changes or large unrelated edits.
 - Document what changed and why in your PR description.
---
+#### **Run the latest pre-release**
   ```ps1
   irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
   ```
-## Basic Git Workflow
+!!! bug "Keep in mind"
-### 1. Fork the Repository
+     This is a pre-release and should be treated as such. It exists for developers to test the utility and report or fix bugs before they get added to the stable release. Don't use it in production!
-Go to the ChrisTitusTech/winutil repository on GitHub and click the Fork button in the top right corner.
+## Issues
-<img width="171" height="50" alt="{650A4723-F38A-44A4-9820-D232BC87C8A0}" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a214f27c-2fee-444a-920f-d87b14f5896f" />
+* If you encounter any challenges or problems with the script, I kindly request that you submit them via the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. By filling out the provided template, you can provide specific details about the issue, allowing me (and others in the community) to promptly address any bugs or consider feature requests.
---
+## Contribute Code
-### 2. Clone Your Fork
+* Pull requests are now handled directly on the **MAIN branch**. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.
-```powershell
+* If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch.
-git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/winutil.git
+
-cd winutil
+!!! warning "Important"
     Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!
     Do not open a pull request that adds support for other languages to WinUtil for now, until we decide how we want to move forward with language support.
 * When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the `tweaks` section and corresponding `undo tweak`, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.
 * By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.
 !!! note
     When creating a function, please include "WPF" or "WinUtil" in the file name so it can be loaded into the runspace.
 ## Walk through
 * This is a guide for beginners. If you are still having issues, look at the following official GitHub documentation:
    * [Commit through WEB](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)
    * [Commit through GitHub Desktop](https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/making-changes-in-a-branch/committing-and-reviewing-changes-to-your-project-in-github-desktop#about-commits)
    * [Create a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)

+     This is a diagram to guide you through the process. It may vary depending on the type of change you're making.
-### 3. Create a Branch
+### Fork the Repo
 * Fork the WinUtil Repository [here](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil) to create a copy that will be available in your repository list.
-Never work directly on `main`.
+![Fork Image](/docs/assets/images/Fork-Button-Dark.png#gh-dark-mode-only)
-Create a branch related to your change:
+![Fork Image](/docs/assets/images/Fork-Button-Light.png#only-light#gh-light-mode-only)
-```powershell
+### Clone the Fork
-git checkout -b feature-name
+!!! tip
 ```
-Example:
+     While you can make your changes directly through the Web, we recommend cloning the repo to your device using the application GitHub Desktop (available in WinUtil) to test your fork easily.
-```powershell
+* Install GitHub Desktop if it is not already installed.
-git checkout -b add-firefox-tweak
+* Log in using the same GitHub account you used to fork WinUtil.
-```
+* Choose the fork under "Your Repositories" and press "clone {repo name}"
 * Create a new branch and name it something relatable to your changes.
---
+* Now you can modify WinUtil to your liking using your preferred text editor.
 ### 4. Edit the Code
-Open the project in your preferred text editor and make your changes.
+### Testing your changes
-Keep changes small and focused.
+* To test to see if your changes work as intended, run the following commands in a PowerShell terminal as admin:
---
+* Change the directory where you are running the commands to the forked project.
 * `cd {path to the folder with the compile.ps1}`
 * Run the following command to compile and run WinUtil:
 * `.\Compile.ps1 -run`
-### 5. Test Your Changes
+![Compile](/docs/assets/images/Complie.png)
 Open Powershell as Administrator.
-Go to the project folder:
+Open PowerShell as Administrator.
-```powershell
+* After seeing that your changes work properly, feel free to commit the changes to the repository and make a PR. For help on that, follow the documentation below.
 cd path\to\winutil
 ```
 Run:
-```powershell
+### Committing the changes
-.\Compile.ps1 -Run
+* Before committing your changes, please discard changes made to the `winutil.ps1` file, like the following:
 ```
-Verify:
+![Push Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Discard-GHD.png)
- WinUtil launches correctly
+* Now, commit your changes once you are happy with the result.
 - Your feature works
 - Nothing else breaks
-If something fails, fix it before committing.
+![Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Commit-GHD.png)
---
+* Push the changes to upload them to your fork on github.com.
-### 6. Review Your Changes
+![Push Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Push-Commit.png)
-Check what changed:
+### Making a PR
-
+* To make a PR on your repo under a new branch linking to the main branch, a button will show and say Preview and Create pull request. Click that button and fill in all the information that is provided on the template. Once all the information is filled in correctly, check your PR to make sure there is no WinUtil.ps1 file attached to the PR. Once everything is good, make the PR and wait for Chris (the maintainer) to accept or deny your PR. Once it is accepted by Chris, you will be able to see your changes in the "/windev" build.
-```powershell
+* If you do not see your feature in the main "/win" build, that is fine. All new changes go into the /windev build to make sure everything is working OK before going fully public.
-git status
+* Congratulations! You just submitted your first PR. Thank you so much for contributing to WinUtil.
 ```
 Review the diff:

 - Import Pester 5.8.0 before running tests so `Invoke-Pester -Output Detailed -CI` does not resolve to Windows' inbox Pester 3.4.0.
 - Keep package install/uninstall process launches simple unless explicitly requested; do not add a separate stdout/stderr process logging helper for winget or Chocolatey.
 - When the active log file is owned by `Start-Transcript`, do not call `Add-Content` against that file; write to host output so the transcript captures the line in the same log file without recording a terminating-error diagnostic.
 - Log install/uninstall package names and package-manager IDs before queuing background runspace work; do not rely on runspace host output for the package identity.
 - For Win11 Creator, start each new ISO modification in a fresh `WinUtil_Win11ISO_*` temp directory; existing-work detection is only for resuming/exporting already modified media.
 - For Win11 Creator driver injection, keep offline WIM servicing to one mount, one `/Add-Driver`, and one commit; do not export editions or run unrelated WIM cleanup, and reject damaged metadata before ISO export.

-## Contributing Code
+# How to Contribute?
-### Before You Start
+## Testing
- Keep each pull request focused on a single feature or fix.
+* Test the latest changes to WinUtil by running the pre-release and reporting issues you are encountering to help us continually improve WinUtil!
 - Avoid unnecessary formatting changes or large unrelated edits.
 - Document what changed and why in your PR description.
---
+#### Run the latest pre-release
-## Basic Git Workflow
+```ps1
-
+irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
 ### 1. Fork the Repository
 Go to the ChrisTitusTech/winutil repository on GitHub and click the Fork button in the top right corner.
 <img width="171" height="50" alt="{650A4723-F38A-44A4-9820-D232BC87C8A0}" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a214f27c-2fee-444a-920f-d87b14f5896f" />
 ---
 ### 2. Clone Your Fork
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/winutil.git
 cd winutil
 ```
---
+> [!IMPORTANT]
 > **Keep in mind** That this is a pre-release and should be treated as such. It exists for developers to test the utility and report or fix bugs before they get added to the stable release. Don't use it in production!
-### 3. Create a Branch
+## Issues
-Never work directly on `main`.
+* If you encounter any challenges or problems with the script, I kindly request that you submit them via the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. By filling out the provided template, you can provide specific details about the issue, allowing me (and others in the community) to promptly address any bugs or consider feature requests.
-Create a branch related to your change:
+## Contribute Code
-```bash
+* Pull requests are now handled directly on the **MAIN branch**. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.
-git checkout -b feature-name
+
 * If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch.
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!
 > [!IMPORTANT]
 > Do not open a pull request that adds support for other languages to WinUtil for now, until we decide how we want to move forward with language support.
 * When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the `tweaks` section and corresponding `undo tweak`, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.
 * By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.
 > [!NOTE]
 >
 > When creating a function, please include "WPF" or "WinUtil" in the file name so it can be loaded into the runspace.
 ## Walk through
 * This is a guide for beginners. If you are still having issues, look at the following official GitHub documentation:
    * [Commit through WEB](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)
    * [Commit through GitHub Desktop](https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/making-changes-in-a-branch/committing-and-reviewing-changes-to-your-project-in-github-desktop#about-commits)
    * [Create a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)

-### 4. Edit the Code
+### Clone the Fork
 > [!TIP]
 >
 > While you can make your changes directly through the Web, we recommend cloning the repo to your device using the application GitHub Desktop (available in WinUtil) to test your fork easily.
-Open the project in your preferred text editor and make your changes.
+* Install GitHub Desktop if it is not already installed.
 * Log in using the same GitHub account you used to fork WinUtil.
 * Choose the fork under "Your Repositories" and press "clone {repo name}"
 * Create a new branch and name it something relatable to your changes.
-Keep changes small and focused.
+* Now you can modify WinUtil to your liking using your preferred text editor.

-### 5. Test Your Changes
+### Testing your changes
-Open PowerShell as Administrator.
+* To test to see if your changes work as intended, run the following commands in a PowerShell terminal as admin:
-Go to the project folder:
+* Change the directory where you are running the commands to the forked project.
 * `cd {path to the folder with the compile.ps1}`
 * Run the following command to compile and run WinUtil:
 * `.\Compile.ps1 -run`
-```powershell
+{{< image src="images/Complie" alt="Compile" >}}

+### Making a PR
-
+* To make a PR on your repo under a new branch linking to the main branch, a button will show and say Preview and Create pull request. Click that button and fill in all the information that is provided on the template. Once all the information is filled in correctly, check your PR to make sure there is no WinUtil.ps1 file attached to the PR. Once everything is good, make the PR and wait for Chris (the maintainer) to accept or deny your PR. Once it is accepted by Chris, you will be able to see your changes in the "/windev" build.
-```bash
+* If you do not see your feature in the main "/win" build, that is fine. All new changes go into the /windev build to make sure everything is working OK before going fully public.
-git status
+* Congratulations! You just submitted your first PR. Thank you so much for contributing to WinUtil.

 In this update, Microsoft completely removed the old Start Menu code from Windows, so we aren't able to bring it back.
 ### Issues with PowerShell 7 or Class not registered Error
 Installing PowerShell 7 from the Microsoft Store (MSIX package) is known to cause issues with DISM cmdlets such as `Get-WindowsOptionalFeature` and `Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature`, resulting in a `Class not registered` COM error.
 This might also make it so running the "pre-installed app removal" will take a indefinite amount of time
 Instead, install PowerShell 7 using one of the following methods:
 **winget (recommended):**
 ```powershell
 winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget --installer-type wix
 ```
 **Direct MSI from GitHub Releases:** Download the `.msi` installer from the [PowerShell GitHub Releases](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases) page.

 ### AppX Packages
 Open **AppX Removal** from the Tweaks tab to manage the listed Windows apps. Select one or more packages, then choose **Install Selected** or **Remove Selected**.
 When installing a selected package, WinUtil first registers an existing local `AppxManifest.xml`. If no usable local manifest remains, WinUtil installs the package from the Microsoft Store through WinGet when a Store product ID is available.
 During AppX installation or removal, the window-level progress bar shows the current package, completed package count, and overall progress. The Windows taskbar also reflects progress and the final success or failure state.
