Drop us a line in the `#dbt-core-developm - **Adapters:** Is your issue or proposed code change related to a specific [database adapter](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/available-adapters)? If so, please open issues, PRs, and discussions in that adapter's repository instead. - **CLA:** Please note that anyone contributing code to `dbt-core` must sign the [Contributor License Agreement](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/contributor-license-agreements). If you are unable to sign the CLA, the `dbt-core` maintainers will unfortunately be unable to merge any of your Pull Requests. We welcome you to participate in discussions, open issues, and comment on existing ones. - **Branches:** All pull requests from community contributors should target the `main` branch (default). If the change is needed as a patch for a minor version of dbt that has already been released (or is already a release candidate), a maintainer will backport the changes in your PR to the relevant "latest" release branch (`1.0.latest`, `1.1.latest`, ...). If an issue fix applies to a release branch, that fix should be first committed to the development branch and then to the release branch (rarely release-branch fixes may not apply to `main`). -- **Releases**: Before releasing a new minor version of Core, we prepare a series of alphas and release candidates to allow users (especially employees of dbt Labs!) to test the new version in live environments. This is an important quality assurance step, as it exposes the new code to a wide variety of complicated deployments and can surface bugs before official release. Releases are accessible via pip, homebrew, and dbt Cloud. +- **Releases**: Before releasing a new minor version of Core, we prepare a series of alphas and release candidates to allow users (especially employees of dbt Labs!) to test the new version in live environments.
