## **How to Contribute**

1. **Review the Contribution Guidelines**

3. **Choose Your Contribution Method**

    The primary source is hosted on our own Forgejo server. Why? We simply prefer it that way. That's it.
    However, to make contributing easier we have set up mirrors and alternative methods.
    
   - **Preferred Method: GitHub Pull Requests**
     - Fork the GitHub mirror of the repository (WILL ADD MIRROR SOON).
     - Create a new branch for your changes and commit your updates with clear, descriptive messages.
     - Open a pull request on GitHub with a detailed explanation of your changes and how they align with the project’s goals.
   - **Alternative Method: Email Patches**
     - Generate patches using `git format-patch` and send them to (WILL ADD ADDRESS SOON).
     - Include a clear description of your changes and their purpose in the email.


4. **Participate in Code Reviews**
   - Be responsive to feedback from maintainers and collaborators.
   - Address requested changes promptly and update your pull request as needed.
