📝 How to Contribute

Prerequisites

1. Fork and clone this repository
2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Contribution Steps

1. Add your company to data/incoming.csv following the CSV Specification below.

   • Do NOT edit companies.csv directly
   • The script will automatically generate id, lat, and lng fields for you

2. Validate your entry (optional but recommended):

   python scripts/add_companies.py --check

   This will validate your entry without making changes.

3. Process your addition:

   python scripts/add_companies.py

   This script automatically:

   • Generates a unique id slug from company name + city
   • Looks up geocoordinates (lat/lng) for the city
   • Normalizes URLs (adds https://, strips trailing slashes)
   • Validates all enum fields (industry, remote_policy, province)
   • Checks for duplicate entries

4. Update the README:

   python scripts/generate_readme.py
