Contributing Guide

How to Contribute

To ensure quality and consistency, please follow these guidelines closely when submitting your links or updates to the repository.

Contribution Guidelines

• Only submit links from trusted sources, especially those listed on fmhy.
• No NSFW content is allowed.
• Ensure all submissions are properly formatted.
• Do not use link shorteners under any circumstances.
• Always provide the original source of the link.

Special note on Empress releases:

Empress cracks fall into a grey area, and their safety cannot be guaranteed. If another group has already cracked the software, avoid using Empress releases.

Step 1: Collecting Links

Start by selecting links from fmhy. Be sure to navigate past any captchas and reach the final destination. If multiple file hosts are available, list all of them using a service like Pastebin.

Step 2: Cloning the Repository

Clone the repository to your local machine using Git, and open the project in a text editor such as Visual Studio Code (VSCode). The repository link is:

https://github.com/Piracy-Link-Archive/piracylinkarchive/

Step 3: Formatting Your Submission

Once the markdown file is open in your editor, add your links as a new dropdown menu using the following template:

---

## The title of your media
<details>
<summary>NAME</summary>
<pre><a href="THE LINK" target="_blank">Source + Type + Group</a></pre>
</details>

• Replace NAME with the title of the software/game.
• Replace THE LINK with the actual download URL.
• Specify the source (e.g., FitGirl), type (e.g., Repack), and group (e.g., Rune) for proper identification.
• Additional metadata can be added if needed.

Adding more links to a dropdown:

To add additional links under the same title, follow this format:

<pre><a href="THE LINK" target="_blank">Source + Type + Group</a></pre>

For example, if there are two links for a title, it should look like this:

## The title of your media
<details>
<summary>NAME</summary>
<pre><a href="THE LINK" target="_blank">Source + Type + Group</a></pre>
<pre><a href="ANOTHER LINK" target="_blank">Source + Type + Group</a></pre>
</details>

If the title already exists in the repository, simply add your new links in the same format as shown.

Step 4: Submitting Your Changes

Once you've made your changes, commit them and push the updates to your branch. Create a pull request on Gitea. After your submission is reviewed and approved, it will be merged into the main repository.
