Contributing Guidelines

Review the open issues to find tasks you can address. For newcomers, we suggest selecting tasks that are quick and easy to complete.

Instructions

Create an account or sign in if you already have one by following the user interface steps.

To fork a repository, click the fork button when signed in. The URL and page header will reflect your account name, confirming the repository is now associated with your account.

In the browser, edit files by clicking their name and the edit button, which opens a page for editing and previewing changes. For multiple uploads, use the upload button to drag and drop files, providing a message about the changes at the bottom.

To edit locally, clone the repository, make updates, commit changes, and push them to the server. For GitHub projects, the desktop app is recommended for its intuitive interface.

Adhere to any templates or guidelines in the repository. Provide a clear name and brief description of your changes. Reference issues by their numbers to link to the relevant context. You may need to revise based on auto-generated tests or feedback from repository maintainers.

Now it will hopefully be merged by the repository maintainers, marking your official contribution to open source.
