5. Run `yarn test` to run ESLint and ensure any JSDoc changes are valid
6. [Submit a pull request](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/compare) (Make sure you follow the [conventional commit format](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/blob/main/.github/COMMIT_CONVENTION.md))
## Testing changes locally
If you want to test changes you've made locally, you can do so by using `yarn link`. This will create a symlink to your local copy of the discord.js libraries.
1. Create a new directory `mkdir discordjs-test` and move into it `cd discordjs-test`
2. Initialize a new yarn 3 project `yarn init -2`
3. Disable pnp `yarn config set nodeLinker node-modules`
4. Now link the local discord.js project you cloned earlier `yarn link -A {PATH_TO_DISCORDJS_REPO}`
5. Install packages you'd like to test locally `yarn add discord.js@latest`, `yarn add @discordjs/rest@latest`, etc. **Note: Make sure you use `latest` tag or else yarn will try to install the remote package from npm**
6. Import the package in your source code and test them out!
### Working with TypeScript packages
When testing local changes, you may notice you need to manually recompile TypeScript projects on every change in order to get the latest code changes to test locally.
To avoid this you can use the `--watch` parameter in the package build script to automatically recompile the project when changes are detected.
For example, to automatically recompile the `@discordjs/rest` project when changes are detected, run `yarn turbo run build --filter=@discordjs/rest -- --watch` in the root folder of where you cloned the discord.js repo.
## Adding new packages
If you'd like to create another package under the `@discordjs` organization run the following command:
