We provide compiled CSS and JS (`bootstrap.*`), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (`bootstrap.min.*`). [Source maps](https://web.dev/articles/source-maps) (`bootstrap.*.map`) are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools. Bundled JS files (`bootstrap.bundle.js` and minified `bootstrap.bundle.min.js`) include [Floating UI](https://floating-ui.com/) and [Vanilla Calendar Pro](https://vanilla-calendar.pro/). All CSS files work for both LTR and RTL layouts thanks to logical properties—simply set `dir="rtl"` on your HTML element.
## Bugs and feature requests
Have a bug or a feature request? Please first read the [issue guidelines](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#using-the-issue-tracker) and search for existing and closed issues. If your problem or idea is not addressed yet, [please open a new issue](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/new/choose).
## Documentation
Bootstrap’s documentation, included in this repo in the root directory, is built with [Astro](https://astro.build/) and publicly hosted on GitHub Pages at <https://getbootstrap.com/>. The docs may also be run locally.
Documentation search is powered by [Pagefind](https://pagefind.app/).
### Running documentation locally
1. Run `npm install` to install the Node.js dependencies, including Astro (the site builder).
2. Run `npm run test` (or a specific npm script) to rebuild distributed CSS and JavaScript files, as well as our docs assets.
3. From the root `/bootstrap` directory, run `npm run docs-serve` in the command line.
4. Open <http://localhost:9001> in your browser, and voilà.
Learn more about using Astro by reading its [documentation](https://docs.astro.build/en/getting-started/).
### Documentation for previous releases
You can find all our previous releases docs on <https://getbootstrap.com/docs/versions/>.
[Previous releases](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases) and their documentation are also available for download.
## Contributing
Please read through our [contributing guidelines](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). Included are directions for opening issues, coding standards, and notes on development.
Moreover, if your pull request contains JavaScript patches or features, you must include [relevant unit tests](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/main/js/tests). All HTML and CSS should conform to the [Code Guide](https://github.com/mdo/code-guide), maintained by [Mark Otto](https://github.com/mdo).
Editor preferences are available in the [editor config](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/main/.editorconfig) for easy use in common text editors. Read more and download plugins at <https://editorconfig.org/>.

Release announcement posts on [the official Bootstrap blog](https://blog.getbootstrap.com/) contain summaries of the most noteworthy changes made in each release.
