How to contribute to Nuxt
summary
Nuxt is a pnpm monorepo with pnpm + corepack where core directories are src/core (build-time) and src/app (run-time); Builders include Vite (which provides an inline CSS feature) and Webpack, CLI delegates to Nitro for dev servers, and releases use unbuild. Contributions range from docs to code; run pnpm lint:fix and typecheck and fixtures locally, target issues labeled good first issue or provide a minimal reproduction touching CLI, Nitro or specific njs packages. The ecosystem already has ~1,000 community module contributors.
