Contributing

We love our contributors! Here's how you can contribute:

Recommended Versions

Package	Version
node	v23.11.0
pnpm	9.15.9

Common Local Development Issues

• The table <table-name> does not exist in the current database. - Run pnpm prisma:push push the state of the Prisma schema file to the database without using migrations files.
• The project is not building correctly locally - verify your versions of node and pnpm match the recommended versions above. Delete all node_modules, .next, and .turbo directories in the apps and packages directory. You may now reinstall node_modules by running pnpm install and attempt to rebuild the project with pnpm build.

Repo Activity

License

Dub Technologies, Inc. is a commercial open-source company, which means some parts of this open-source repository require a commercial license. The concept is called "Open Core" where the core technology (99%) is fully open source, licensed under AGPLv3 and the last 1% is covered under a commercial license ("/ee" Enterprise Edition) which we believe is entirely relevant for larger organisations that require enterprise features. Enterprise features are built by the core engineering team of Dub Technologies, Inc., which is hired full-time.
