Ways to Contribute
Whether you’re a developer, designer, or overall Bridgetown enthusiast, there are lots of ways to contribute to our open source project. Here’s a few ideas:
- Comment on some of the project’s open issues. Have you experienced the same problem? Know a work around? Do you have a suggestion for how the feature could be better?
- Read through the documentation and file a PR by forking the Bridgetown repo on GitHub and adding your changes or suggestions for something that could be improved.
- Browse through the latest Community site posts or chat activity and lend a hand answering questions or proposing awesome new features. There’s a good chance other folks are in the same boat as you.
- Help evaluate open pull requests by testing the changes locally and reviewing what’s proposed. Or if you have a PR you’d like to submit for a new feature or a bugfix, we’d be thrilled to evaluate it and guide it through the release cycle if it adheres to our project goals.
Reminder: Bridgetown’s issue tracker on GitHub is not a support forum. Only file issues for reproducible problems you’ve identified while using Bridgetown.
