+# Five for the Future
+
+Plugins and themes for the Five for the Future subsite: https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/
+
+## Contributing
+
+In order to contribute with code changes, you'll want to set up a local environment to test changes and then push the changes to a Pull Request on this Github Repository.
+
+### Initial environment setup
+
+1) Use whichever local WordPress development setup you prefer and create a new local WP site.
+2) Find the `wp-content` folder and delete it (make a backup if you have data you don't want to lose data you already have there).
+3) Fork the [five-for-the-future](https://github.com/WordPress/five-for-the-future) repository under your own Github account.
+4) Run `git clone git@github.com:WordPress/five-for-the-future.git wp-content`. Replace `WordPress/` with your Github `USERNAME/` to clone your newly forked repo instead.
+5) Ensure this newly cloned `wp-content` folder is where it should be in the WP structure.
+6) Copy over the base theme with: `svn export https://meta.svn.wordpress.org/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg themes/pub/wporg` (this should be run from the `wp-content` folder).
+
+### Configuring the site
+
+1) Login to your site and activate the "Five for the Future" theme and plugin.
+2) Navigate to `wp-content/themes/pub/wporg` from your CLI and run: `npm install && grunt default`
+3) Navigate to `/wp-content/themes/wporg-5ftf` and run: `npm install && npm run build`
+
+### Setting up default data
+
+1) Set your permalinks to "Post name" at Settings > Permalinks.
+2) Run the WP XML Importer at Tools > Import and [import this xml file](#TODO).
+3) Set the Primary Menu at Appearance > Menu.
+4) Set "About" as the static home page at Settings > Reading. 
+5) Add new Pledges on the "Add New Pledge" page. Note that you'll need to use valid WP usernames on your install.
+	- 5.1) Set the new entry to Published in the Five For the Future > Pledges admin area.
+	- 5.2) Find the "Sending email" log entry in the pledge admin and copy/paste the link in a new tab to confirm the email.
+	- 5.3) Go to the Five For the Future > Contributors page and publish the post(s) via quick edit.
+	- 5.4) Your new pledge should appear on the `/pledges/` pages now.
+
+### Running build scripts and tests 
+
+If you making changes to the theme's CSS, you can run `npm start` at `/wp-content/themes/wporg-5ftf` to watch for CSS changes and automatically compile.
+
+If you are making changes to the plugins, you can run `composer install` at `/wp-content/plugins/wporg-5ftf` and then `composer run test` to run the WP unit tests.
+
+And lastly, you can run PHPCS for both the theme and the plugin at the root `/wp-content/` folder by running `composer install` there once, followed by `composer run phpcs` when you want to code scan. 
+
+### Submitting Pull Requests
+
+The first thing you'll want to do before changing any code is create a new branch based on the production/master branch. Then you can commit your code changes locally and push this new branch to your forked repository on Github. Then visit the [official repository](https://github.com/WordPress/five-for-the-future/) and you should see the option to open up a Pull Request based on the recently pushed branch on your fork.
+
+Overtime your fork will fall out of date with what is on the main repository. What you'll want to do is keep your fork's production/master branch synced with the upstream production branch. To do this:
+
+1) In the `/wp-content/` folder, run `git remote add upstream https://github.com/WordPress/five-for-the-future`
+2) Then `git fetch upstream` to pull down the upstream changes.
+3) Lastly, `git checkout production && git merge upstream/production` to sync up the your local branch with the upstream branch.
+
+This is why it's important to always create a branch on your local fork before making code changes. You want to keep the production/master branch clean and in sync with the upstream repository.
