Contributing to Gemini Code Flow 🚀

June 26, 2025 · View on GitHub

Welcome! Please help make this project better!

🙏 Honest Truth: I Need Your Help!

Hi, I'm Luke and I'm a total noob at this! 😅 This project is my attempt to adapt RuV's amazing Claude Code Flow for Gemini CLI, but I'm definitely making mistakes and could use guidance from experienced developers.

🤷‍♂️ What I'm Probably Doing Wrong:

  • Code structure - Is this organized properly?
  • TypeScript usage - Am I following best practices?
  • Error handling - I probably missed edge cases
  • Performance - No clue if this is optimized
  • Testing - What tests should I write?
  • Documentation - Is it clear enough?

👋 New to Open Source? We're Both Learning!

This project is beginner-friendly because we're all learning together! Don't worry if you're not a coding expert - there are many ways to contribute, and honestly, you might know more than me! 😂
