 ## Demos and Development
 
 
-### Setup
-
-To run the demos, you must clone this repo **recursively**.
+### Repo Setup
 
+The repo uses submodules. If you did not clone with ` --recursive` then you need to call
 ```
-git clone https://github.com/@nativescript-community/ui-checkbox.git --recursive
+git submodule update --init
 ```
 
-**Install Dependencies:**
-```bash
-npm i # or 'yarn install' or 'pnpm install'
-```
+The package manager used to install and link dependencies must be `pnpm` or `yarn`. `npm` wont work.
+
+To develop and test:
+if you use `yarn` then run `yarn`
+if you use `pnpm` then run `pnpm i`
 
 **Interactive Menu:**

 ### Build
 
 ```bash
-npm run build
-
-npm run build.angular # or for Angular
+npm run build.all
 ```
+WARNING: it seems `yarn build.all` wont always work (not finding binaries in `node_modules/.bin`) which is why the doc explicitly uses `npm run`

+
+Demo setup is a bit special in the sense that if you want to modify/add demos you dont work directly in `demo-[ng|react|svelte|vue]`
+Instead you work in `demo-snippets/[ng|react|svelte|vue]`
+You can start from the `install.ts` of each flavor to see how to register new demos

+## Contributing
+
+### Update repo 
+
+You can update the repo files quite easily
+
+First update the submodules
+
+```bash
+npm run update
+```
+
+Then commit the changes
+Then update common files
+
+```bash
+npm run sync
+```
+Then you can run `yarn|pnpm`, commit changed files if any
+
+### Update readme 
+```bash
+npm run readme
+```
+
+### Update doc 
+```bash
+npm run doc
+```
+
+### Publish
+
+The publishing is completely handled by `lerna` (you can add `-- --bump major` to force a major release)
+Simply run 
+```shell
+npm run publish
+```
+
+### modifying submodules
+
+The repo uses https:// for submodules which means you won't be able to push directly into the submodules.
+One easy solution is t modify `~/.gitconfig` and add
+```
+[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
+	pushInsteadOf = https://github.com/
+```
