Contribute to the Focalboard plugin project

Follow these simple steps to contribute:

  1. Fork the Focalboard repo, clone it locally, and follow the steps in the README to build. Read the developer tips & tricks to get started.

  2. Find help wanted tickets that are up for grabs in GitHub. Comment to let everyone know you’re working on it, and to allow a core contributor to assign the issue to you. If there’s no ticket for what you want to work on see contributions without a ticket.

  3. When your changes are ready, run through our checklist for pull requests. Note that if it’s your first contribution, there is a standard CLA to sign.

Just ask if you need help!
