+# Contributing to openapi-typescript docs
+
+## Setup
+
+See the [README](./README.md) for basic setup.
+
+## Corrections / small edits
+
+Corrections are always welcome! Please go straight to [opening a PR](https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript/pulls) for correcting typos or misinformation language. Small edits are also welcome, which include shortening verbose language or clarifying confusing wording.
+
+## Styling fixes
+
+Styling fixes are also welcome (contrast improvements, styling bugs, general frontend improvements). You can also go straight to [opening a PR](https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript/pulls) for those.
+
+## Additions & Larger edits
+
+[Opening a new discussion](https://github.com/drwpow/openapi-typescript/discussions) would be appreciated for all of the following:
+
+- Adding a new section or page
+- Restructuring the docs
+- Major rewrites
+
+All of the above are welcome! But if you just opened a PR without discussing the plan ahead-of-time, it will probably be rejected. Be sure to save your own time by talking about big changes first!

+# openapi-typescript Docs
+
+Docs site powered by [Astro](https://github.com/withastro/astro), a modern static site generator.
+
+Lives at [https://openapi-ts.pages.dev](https://openapi-ts.pages.dev).
+
+## Setup
+
+Setup requires the latest version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) and [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/). With both installed, run:
+
+```
+pnpm 1
+pnpm run dev
+```
+
+That will launch the docs site at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+## Editing
+
+All content lives in the [content/](./src/content) directory, in `.md` files that should be familiar to edit to most.
+
+For the non-markdown bits, please see the [Astro Documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/getting-started/).
+
+## Contributing
+
+Docs contributions are welcome! Please refer to [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for additional assistance.
