Contributing

A good way to do the first contribution are the good first issues. On some of the issues are already linked PRs with comments in the code what has to be done. These PRs can be picked up if not assigned to someone yet.

The most comfortable way to get started is to open the project in a ready-to-code Gitpod workspace with all packages & tools preinstalled and a running database with sample data.

If you prefer to setup the project on your local machine see Contributing Guide and learn all required steps to run it locally in development mode.

Don't hesitate to open an issue for getting some feedback about a potential bug or if you desire a missing feature. It is appreciated to check over current issues and provide feedback to existing ones or even raise a PR which solves an issue. Any contribution is welcome!
