On the GitHub Docs site, you can contribute by clicking the Make a contribution button at the bottom of the page to open a pull request for quick fixes like typos, updates, or link fixes.
You can also contribute by creating a local environment or opening a Codespace. For more information, see "Setting up your environment to work on GitHub Docs."
For more complex contributions, please open an issue using the most appropriate issue template to describe the changes you'd like to see.
If you're looking for a way to contribute, you can scan through our help wanted board to find open issues already approved for work.
