Get involved
You can submit a pull request in GitHub
As a general rule for any contribution: please make sure you provide as much information as you can to ease collaboration and follow the instructions noted in the CONTRIBUTING.md file of the repository you plan to contribute to. When creating a pull request, follow the Pull Request Checklist available in the respective CONTRIBUTING.md to ensure reviews can happen promptly. Also, if you plan to do something more involved, please reach out to us and send an email first. This will avoid unnecessary work and give you and us a good deal of inspiration.
If you are contributing for the first time, follow these guidelines:
-
To work on an issue
Claim it first by commenting on the GitHub issue that you want to work on.
-
To ask a question
To clarify an issue, simply comment on it, and one of the maintainers will respond.
-
To contribute code or documentation
In order to fix a bug or to implement a new feature, contributions must be licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
-
To report a trivial fix or improvement
Create a pull request, addressing a suitable code owner of the particular repository (see for example the documentation repo's Code Owners).
-
To report a significant security risk
Make sure to follow the process outlined in the Security Policy that is accessible through the Security tab in each dev repository.
For any of the above, please make sure you provide as much info as you can. Please also make sure to consult the dedicated contribution guidelines of the respective repository.
