Software Carpentry is an open source project, and we welcome contributions of all kinds: new lessons, fixes to existing material, bug reports, and reviews of proposed changes are all equally welcome.

By contributing, you are agreeing that Software Carpentry may redistribute your work under these licenses. You also agree to abide by our contributor code of conduct.

Getting Started

  1. We use GitHub flow to manage changes, which is explained in the chapter Contributing to a Project in Scott Chacon's book Pro Git.

  2. For our lessons, you should branch from and submit pull requests against the gh-pages branch.

  3. When editing lesson pages, you need only commit changes to the Markdown source files.

  4. If you're looking for things to work on, please see the list of issues for this repository, or for our other lessons. Comments on issues and reviews of pull requests are equally welcome.

Other Resources

  1. This lesson is based on the template found at https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-template. That repository has instructions on formatting and previewing lessons.

  2. For a list of helpful commands run make in this directory.

  3. The list of maintainers on the Software Carpentry website lists the people currently responsible for managing this repository. Feel free to contact them if you have any questions or languishing pull requests.
