# Contributing Guidelines
Thank you for your interest in contributing to the OpenSource documentation! Whether it's a bug report, new feature, correction, or additional
documentation, we greatly value feedback and contributions from our community.
Thank you for your interest in improving the OpenSource documentation! We value and appreciate all feedback and contributions from our community, including requests for additional documentation, corrections to existing content, and to report technical issues with the documentation site.
Please read through this document before submitting any issues or pull requests to ensure we have all the necessary
information to effectively respond to your bug report or contribution.
The OpenSearch documentation team is dedicated to providing complete and best-in-class documentation. Thank you for your patience as we build our documentation team and content library. We appreciate your support and patience.
## How to request changes
Before entering a change request, please read this document carefully. We want to make sure we have all the information necessary to effectively respond to your contribution.
There are two ways to contribute: 1) create an issue where you describe the change and 2) create a pull request that contains the content to directly insert into the documentation.
**Create an Issue**
Use the Github issue tracker to describe the change you'd like to make.
1. Go to https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website/issues and select *New issue*.
2. Enter the requested information and include as much detail as possible, especially which version or versions the request affects.
3. Select *Submit new issue*.
## Reporting Bugs/Feature Requests
Use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features.
When filing an issue, please check existing open, or recently closed, issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already
reported the issue. Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like these are incredibly useful:
* A reproducible test case or series of steps
* The version of our code being used
* Any modifications you've made relevant to the bug
* Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
The untriaged label is assigned automatically. During the triage process, the documentation team will add the appropriate labels, assign the issue to a technical writer, and prioritize the request. We may follow up with you for additional information.
## Contributing via Pull Requests
Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that:
**Create a pull request**
1. You are working against the latest source on the *main* branch.
2. You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your time to be wasted.
If youd like to make a change directly to the content, create a pull request. If its a quick fix, we should be able to release the update quickly. Bigger requests might take a bit of time for us to review.
To send us a pull request, please:
Note that a pull request requires DCO sign off before we can merge it. You can use the -s command line option to append this automatically to your commit message, for example $ git commit -s -m 'This is my commit message'. For more information, see https://github.com/apps/dco.
Before submitting, make sure to:
* Work against the latest source on the main branch.
* Check existing open and recently merged pull requests to ensure that someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
* If the change requires significant work, open an issue where we can first discuss your request.
To create a pull request:
1. Fork the repository.
2. Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
3. Ensure local tests pass.
2. Modify the source. Make sure to focus on the specific change you are contributing. For example, if you also reformat the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
3. Test the code. Make sure that any local tests pass.
4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.
5. Create the [pull request](https://github.com/opensearch-project/documentation-website/pulls) and save it, making sure to answer the default questions in the pull request template.
GitHub provides additional document on [forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and

If you need additional support, GitHub provides documentation on [forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and [creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/).
## Finding contributions to work on
Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.
If youd like to contribute but don't know where to start, try browsing existing issues. Our projects use custom GitHub issue labels for status, version, type of request, etc., but we recommend looking at any issues labeled “good first issue” first.
