# How to contribute
So, you've decided to contribute, that's great!
You can use this document to figure out how and where to start.
## Getting started
- Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join).
- Take a look at [existing issues](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues).
- If you need to create an issue:
- Make sure to clearly describe it.
- Including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
- Include the version of SQLx used.
- Include the database driver and version.
- Include the database version.
## Making changes
- Fork the repository on GitHub.
- Create a branch on your fork.
- You can usually base it on the `master` branch.
- Make sure not to commit directly to `master`.
- Make commits of logical and atomic units.
- Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
- Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
- Submit a pull request to the original repository.
## What to work on
We try to mark issues with a suggested level of experience (in Rust/SQL/SQLx).
Where possible we try to spell out how to go about implementing the feature.
To start with, check out:
- Issues labeled as ["good first issue"](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
- Issues labeled as ["Easy"](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AE-easy).
Additionally, it's always good to work on improving/adding examples and documentation.
## Communication
If you're unsure about your contribution or simply want to ask a question about anything, you can:
- Visit the [SQLx Discord server](https://discord.gg/uuruzJ7)
- Discuss something directly in the [Github issue](https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/issues).
