We have good first issues for new contributors and help wanted issues suitable
for any contributor. good first issue
has extra information to help you make
your first contribution. help wanted
are issues suitable for someone who isn't
a core maintainer and is good to move onto after your first pull request.
Sometimes there won’t be any issues with these labels. That’s ok! There is likely still something for you to work on. If you want to contribute but you don’t know where to start or can't find a suitable issue, you can file a feature request yourself! Once you see an issue that you'd like to work on, please post a comment saying that you want to work on it. Something like "I want to work on this" is fine.
Licensing is important to open source projects. It provides some assurances that the software will continue to be available based under the terms that the author(s) desired. We require that contributors sign off on commits submitted to our project's repositories. The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is a way to certify that you wrote and have the right to contribute the code you are submitting to the project.
You sign-off by adding the following to your commit messages. Your sign-off must match the git user and email associated with the commit.
This is my commit message
Signed-off-by: Your Name <your.name@example.com>
Git has a -s
command line option to do this automatically:
git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'
If you forgot to do this and have not yet pushed your changes to the remote repository, you can amend your commit with the sign-off by running
git commit --amend -s
Please submit a pull request with a clear list of what you've done. We can

make sure all of your commits are atomic (one feature per commit). Please submit
pull requests to the next
