Joining the conversation#
Most of our discussions will take place on open issues.
Contributing through GitHub#
git is a really useful tool for version control.
GitHub sits on top of git and supports collaborative and distributed working.
You’ll use Markdown to chat in issues and pull requests on GitHub. You can think of Markdown as a few little symbols around your text that will allow GitHub to render the text with formatting. For example you could write words as bold (bold), or in italics (italics).
GitHub has a helpful page on getting started with writing and formatting Markdown on GitHub.
Recognizing contributors#
We welcome and recognize all contributions from documentation to testing to code development. You can see a list of current contributors in the contributors tab.
