+Fork the repository
+===================
+
+Forking the repository is the first step to contributing to the project. This
+allows you to have your own copy of the project so you can make changes without
+affection the main project. Once you have made your changes, you can submit a
+pull-request to the main project to have your changes reviewed and merged.

+
+.. _clone-the-repository:
+
+Clone the repository
+====================
+
+Make sure you `configure SSH`_ with your GitHub
+account. This allows you to clone the repository without having to use tokens
+or passwords. Also, make sure you have `git`_ installed in your machine.
+
+To clone the repository using SSH, run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone [email protected]:ansys/ansys-sphinx-theme
+
+.. _install-for-developers:
+
+Install for developers
+======================
+
+Installing Ansys sphinx theme in development mode allows you to perform changes to the code
+and see the changes reflected in your environment without having to reinstall
+the library every time you make a change.
+
+Virtual environment
+-------------------
+
+Start by navigating to the project's root directory by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cd ansys-sphinx-theme
+
+Then, create a new virtual environment named ``.venv`` to isolate your system's
+Python environment by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python -m venv .venv
+
+Finally, activate this environment by running:
+
+.. tab-set::
+
+    .. tab-item:: Windows
+
+        .. tab-set::
+
+            .. tab-item:: CMD
+
+                .. code-block:: bash
+
+                    .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
+
+            .. tab-item:: PowerShell
+
+                .. code-block:: bash
+
+                    .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+
+    .. tab-item:: macOS/Linux/UNIX
+
+        .. code-block:: bash
+
+            source .venv/bin/activate
+
+Development mode
+----------------
+
+Now, install Ansys sphinx theme in editable mode by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python -m pip install --editable .
+
+Verify the installation by checking the version of the library:
+
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from ansys_sphinx_theme import __version__
+    print(f"Ansys sphinx thenme version is {__version__}")
+
+.. jinja::
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+       >>> Ansys sphinx theme version is {{ ANSYS_SPHINX_THEME_VERSION }}
+
+Install ``Tox``
+---------------
+
+Once the project is installed, you can install `Tox`_. This is a cross-platform
+automation tool. The main advantage of Tox is that it allows you to test your
+project in different environments and configurations in a temporary and
+isolated Python virtual environment. To install Tox, run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python -m pip install tox
+
+Finally, verify the installation by listing all the different environments
+(automation rules) for Ansys Sphinx theme:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    python -m tox list
+
+.. jinja:: toxenvs
+
+    .. dropdown:: Default Tox environments
+        :animate: fade-in
+        :icon: three-bars
+
+        .. list-table::
+            :header-rows: 1
+            :widths: auto
+
+            * - Environment
+              - Description
+              - usage
+            {% for environment in envs %}
+            {% set name, description  = environment.split("->") %}
+            * - {{ name }}
+              - {{ description }}
+              - python -m tox -e {{ name }}
+            {% endfor %}
+
+
+Adhere to code style
+--------------------
+
+Ansys Sphinx theme follows the PEP8 standard as outlined in
+`PEP 8 <https://dev.docs.pyansys.com/coding-style/pep8.html>`_ in
+the *PyAnsys Developer's Guide* and implements style checking using
+`pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_.
+
+To ensure your code meets minimum code styling standards, run these commands::
+
+  pip install pre-commit
+  pre-commit run --all-files
+
+or use tox as above::
+
+    tox -e code-style
+
+You can also install this as a pre-commit hook by running this command::
+
+  pre-commit install
+
+This way, it's not possible for you to push code that fails the style checks::
+
+  $ pre-commit install
+  $ git commit -am "added my cool feature"

+
+
+Build the documentation
+-----------------------
+
+To build documentation locally, you can either use tox as mentioned above or
+run the following commands:
+
+1. Install the required dependencies by running::
+
+    pip install -e .[doc]
+
+2. Build the documentation by running::
+
+    # On Linux or macOS
+    make -C doc/ html
+
+    # On Windows
+    doc\make.bat html
+
+3. The documentation is built in the ``doc/_build/html`` directory. Open the
+   ``index.html`` file in your browser to view the documentation.
+
+You can clean the build directory by running::
+
+    # On Linux or macOS
+    make -C doc/ clean
+
+    # On Windows
+    doc\make.bat clean
