# Contribute to Xyne

> Guide to contributing to Xyne

# Option 1 : Asking Xyne to add the feature you're looking for :

You can reach out to us on our [slack community](https://xynerds.slack.com/) in the `#contribute` channel, where we'll help you out with adding support for the feature you're looking for.

# Option 2 : Fork the repository and run the project in development mode :

You can also feel free to make a contribution to the project yourself. Follow the steps below to get started :

## Step 1: Forking and setting up the repository.

* The first step is to `fork` the repository.

* Following that you need to run the project in `development` mode, follow the instruction below :

</Card>

## Step 2 : Make your share of contribution to the project.

You can make a contribution to the project in two ways :

### Contributing to an open issue on Github :

You can pick up any issue out of the list of [open issues](https://github.com/xynehq/xyne/issues) on Xyne's Github and contribute to that.

### Contributing to Xyne independently :

If you have found an issue which is not in the list of [open issues](https://github.com/xyne/issues) on Xyne's Github, you can [create a new issue](https://github.com/xynehq/xyne/issues/new?template=Blank+issue). And then contribute to that.

## Step 3 : Create a PR for the contribution.

Once you've made the code changes, you can create a new PR for the contribution. Follow the sample `closed` [PR](https://github.com/xynehq/xyne/pull/238) to see the template for the new PR.

## Step 4 : Wait for the PR to get approved :

At this point your part of the contribution has been done. Wait for the PR to get approved by the authors of Xyne.
