How to contribute to Hack Orbit
Contribution is at the heart of Hack Orbit. Here's how to go from visitor to contributor.
Four steps to your first contribution
Pick a good first issue
Look for issues labelled good first issue or help wanted in the official repositories. Introduce yourself, ask questions, and claim an issue before starting.
Open a pull request
Fork the repository, make your change, and open a pull request. Follow each repo's contributing guide and keep PRs focused and well-tested.
Get recognised
When your pull request merges, your work is recognised — and you're officially a Hack Orbit contributor.

Where contributions count
Everything happens in official repos
Hack Orbit's work happens in its official GitHub organisation's repositories. Merged pull requests, resolved issues, and submitted code reviews are what move the organisation forward.
