Pull request overview
This PR adds a dedicated /contributing page to the website so contribution guidelines can be read with in-site formatting/navigation instead of linking out to the raw CONTRIBUTING.md on GitHub.
Changes:
- Added a new
Contributingpage that fetchesCONTRIBUTING.md, builds a TOC, and renders the content. - Wired the new page into the router and updated the footer link to point to
/contributing. - Updated several website dependencies (framer-motion, react-router-dom, TypeScript, types, and transitive lockfile changes).

Hey @Shashankss1205, I'm Shri, a GSSoC 2026 contributor, and I noticed something while exploring your project: the Contributing link in the footer was directing users to raw GitHub markdown instead of keeping them engaged on your site. What I DidI built a dedicated Why I'm DifferentMost contributors see a problem and just execute it. I went deeper:
Why You Should Merge ThisI'm not asking for a merge because the code works. I'm asking because I understand that every contributor interaction shapes perception of your project. This PR shows I think beyond features—I think about experience, maintenance, and the bigger picture. I'm committed to contributing meaningfully to CodeGraphContext. This is just the start. 🚀 Please consider merging this. I'm ready to iterate if needed. Thanks! |
Problem Statement
The Contributing link in the footer directs users to raw GitHub CONTRIBUTING.md file, taking them away from the website and creating friction for new contributors.
