How Can I Contribute?

TortoiseGit is developed by volunteers in their spare time.

You can consider a donation. But it's not all about money. We really appreciate if you donate money, however, manpower is also needed!

You're welcome to contribute to this project! There are several aspects you can help on:

• improving our documentation (see doc/readme.txt file and doc folder),
• translations,
• testing preview releases,
• helping other users on the mailing lists,
• improving our UIs, or also
• coding (e.g., fix open issues or implement new features; see below for more information).
  • Our main source code repository is hosted on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/tortoisegit/tortoisegit/; forking, creating issues and merge requests possible
  • We also have a mirror on GitHub: https://github.com/tortoisegit/tortoisegit/, forking and creating pull requests possible

Any help is appreciated!

Feel free to report issues and open merge requests.

Please also check the contribution guidelines to understand our workflow.

How to build

Building TortoiseGit normally is not necessary, however, it is easy. All necessary requirements and steps are described in the build.txt file. Helpful might also be our short description in the architecture.txt file.
