If you want to work on the documentation, run the development server and edit the files in the website folder.

If you want to work on the library. You need a Java environment and Maven. Then you can use the following command to build the library.
mvn compile
You can release the library with the following command:
mvn deploy -Pcentral
For the automatic release flow you have to commit a changeset. This is a .md-file in the .changeset directory.
The file needs to have the following structure:
---
type: patch | minor | major
---
A description of the changes made in this release.When a pull request is merged, the changeset will trigger a GitHub action that will create a new pull request with the new version. After this pull request is merged, the new version will be released to Maven Central and Github releases.
