# Contributing
Thanks for your interest in contributing to OpenDevin! We welcome and appreciate contributions.
If you are only looking to setup a development workflow, check out [Development.md](https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/blob/main/Development.md).
## Contribution Guide
### 1. Fork the Official Repository
Fork the [OpenDevin repository](https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin) into your own account.
Clone your own forked repository into your local environment:
```shell
git clone git@github.com:<YOUR-USERNAME>/OpenDevin.git
```
### 2. Configure Git
Set the official repository as your [upstream](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-forks-and-upstreams) to synchronize with the latest update in the official repository.
Add the original repository as upstream:
```shell
cd OpenDevin
git remote add upstream git@github.com:OpenDevin/OpenDevin.git
```
Verify that the remote is set:
```shell
git remote -v
```
You should see both `origin` and `upstream` in the output.
### 3. Synchronize with Official Repository
Synchronize latest commit with official repository before coding:
```shell
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
git push origin main
```
### 4. Create a New Branch And Open a Pull Request
1. Create a new branch with your changes
2. On Github, go to the page of your forked repository
3. Create a Pull Request
- Click on `Branches`
- Click on the `...` beside your branch and click on `New pull request`
- Set `base repository` to `OpenDevin/OpenDevin`
- Set `base` to `main`
- Click `Create pull request`
The PR should appear in [OpenDevin PRs](https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/pulls).
Then the OpenDevin team will review your code.
## PR Rules
### 1. Pull Request title
As described [here](https://github.com/commitizen/conventional-commit-types/blob/master/index.json), a valid PR title should begin with one of the following prefixes:
- `feat`: A new feature
- `fix`: A bug fix
- `docs`: Documentation only changes
- `style`: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- `perf`: A code change that improves performance
- `test`: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
- `build`: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
- `ci`: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
- `chore`: Other changes that don't modify src or test files
- `revert`: Reverts a previous commit
For example, a PR title could be:
- `refactor: modify package path`
- `feat(frontend): xxxx`, where `(frontend)` means that this PR mainly focuses on the frontend component.
You may also check out previous PRs in the [PR list](https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/pulls).
As described [here](https://github.com/OpenDevin/OpenDevin/labels), we have created several labels. Every PR should be tagged with the corresponding labels.
### 2. Pull Request description
- If your PR is small (such as a typo fix), you can go brief.
- If it contains a lot of changes, it's better to write more details.
## How to Begin
Please refer to the README in each module:
- [frontend](./frontend/README.md)
- [agenthub](./agenthub/README.md)
- [evaluation](./evaluation/README.md)
- [opendevin](./opendevin/README.md)
- [server](./opendevin/server/README.md)
## Tests
Please navigate to the `tests` folder to see existing test suites.
At the moment, we have two kinds of tests: `unit` and `integration`. Please refer to the README for each test suite. These tests also run on CI to ensure quality of
the project.
