# Contributing to mutagen
Hi there! So you want to join the mutagen project or at least know what it entails? Welcome and read on!
## Getting started
High level approach:
1. Find something to fix/improve
2. Change code, tests, docs, whatever
3. If you changed code, run `cargo test` (once we have a test suite, that is) both in the `mutagen/` dir and the `plugin/` subdirectory.
If you cannot get the code to build / tests to pass, don't fret, just mark your contribution as work in progress ("WIP").
4. Open a pull request. For that you need to fork the repository. See [GitHub's help page](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/)
for more information.
### Finding something to fix/improve
All issues on mutagen are mentored, if you want help with an issue just ask @llogiq.
Some issues are easier than others. The [good first issue](https://github.com/llogiq/mutagen/labels/good%20first%20issue)
label can be used to find the easy issues. If you want to work on an issue, please leave a comment to have it assigned
to you.
### Writing code, tests, docs, etc.
All contributions are equally welcome, whether it's refactorings for a more readable codebase, fixing a bug or implementing
new functionality, adding tests, documentation or setting up or improving CI, we'll be happy to have your contributions.
### Getting your contribution into mutagen
Contributions to mutagen should be made in the form of GitHub pull requests. Each pull request will
be reviewed by a core contributor (someone with permission to land patches) and either landed in the
main tree or given feedback for changes that would be required.
