Contribution guidelines
Our Contributing to Public Lab Software page has our preferred guidelines for submitting changes. Please read it over!
We also love it when students show that they can work well with us by trying a first-timers-only issue, and even submitting a pull request. This gives us confidence that you've read our contribution guidelines and would be ready to jump into a project. To get started, see our welcome page:
