Introduction

Hi! If you are new to contributing to the Open edX platform, this is the place for you! This document will guide you from scratch to become an active contributor to the Open edX platform.

...

  • Fork the Open edX project you want to contribute from the official Open edX Github repository to your Github account

  • Clone (if it is the first time, pull if you already have a local copy) the project from your fork of the repo

    1. Check out your local devstack installation to the master branch. You should only make PRs on the master release for -at least- three reasons:

      Branches based on old commits may not get merged in the next release

      Your change may have already been implemented

      The files that you want to change may have disappeared, been moved, or modified

  • Run the unit tests for the app your want to change to make sure that the installation is clean. Do this before any change. Undo or discard any change to the pulled branch.
