## Getting Started

|
2024-02-17 14:04:10 -08:00
|
|
|
Having a lot of options to choose from is hard.

|
|
We maintain a place for [all contributions to Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Contributing) and you should read

## Finding issues to work on
|
2023-08-22 06:17:52 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following issue trackers may contain a few ideas for things that could be worked on:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- [Codeberg Community Tracker](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues?&state=open&labels=338)
|
|
|
|
|
- [Forgejo Issue Tracker](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2025-06-14 02:38:21 -07:00
|
|
|
We also recommend working on changes that _personally_ bother you first. Something in the direction of simple UI changes
|
|
|
|
|
changes would probably make the most sense, as they are the easiest to get started with and will help you get more
|
|
|
|
|
acquainted with the codebase (which could help you solve more complicated problems later) in the process.

|
|
|
Solving easy problems helps a lot too! It makes Codeberg's underlying software look much more polished;
|
|
|
|
|
it also lets other contributors use more of their limited time to solve very sophisticated or unexpected problems.

|

|
|
|
In the _Codeberg Community Tracker_, there are some issues that are marked using the
|
|
|
|
|
[`contribution welcome`](https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues?&state=open&labels=105) tag.
|
|
|
|
|
This tag is meant to show that we would really appreciate your help here.
|
|
|
|
|
They also act as a good starting point if you are looking for something to work on.
