Becoming involved

conda-forge is a community-driven effort of cross-platform packaging and as such relies on volunteers to sustain and improve.

Help is always welcome! You can contribute e.g. by

Improving the documentation

You can help improve this documentation! It is version-controlled in the conda-forge.github.io repository on GitHub. The source text is stored there in the src/ subdirectory and is formatted using Python’s reStructuredText system.

You can propose quick edits directly through the GitHub website, if you have an account there — for instance, this link will take you directly to a web-based editor for this very webpage. In general, the file corresponding to each page in the GitHub browser has a little pencil icon in its top-right that lets you open it up for editing.

The more manual process is as follows:

  1. Fork the conda-forge.github.io repository to your own GitHub user account.

  2. Clone that fork onto your computer.

  3. Check out a new branch deriving from master to do your work.

  4. Make and commit your changes.

  5. Submit a pull request to the main repository proposing your changes.

Happy editing!
