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. Please see the README for advice on getting and giving help.

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

  3. When editing lessons, please only commit changes to the Markdown files, not the generated HTML. We will re-create the HTML after your pull request is merged. (Working this way ensures that each change only needs to be reviewed once, in one place.)

  4. If you're looking for things to work on, please see the list of issues for this repository or for the template, or have a look at our actual 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.
