Contributing to Jetpack

👍🎉 First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉👍

People of all levels can help — whether you can barely recognize a filter (or don’t know what that means) or you’ve already authored your own plugins, there are ways for you to pitch in.

Beta Testing

We’re always interested in hearing your feedback about existing and upcoming Jetpack features. The easiest way to help test Jetpack is to join our Beta group.

Create Bug Reports

If you find a bug, please file a GitHub issue. If you want to prefix the title with a “Question:”, “Bug:”, or the general area of the application, that would be helpful, but by no means mandatory. If you have write access, add the appropriate labels.

If you’re filing a bug, specific steps to reproduce are helpful. Please include the URL of the page that has the bug, along with what you expected to see and what happened instead. You can check our recommendations to create great bug reports here.

Write and submit a patch

If you’d like to fix a bug or make an enhancement, you can submit a Pull Request. Before you get started, you’ll want to set up your development environment.

Once your development environment is ready, you can get started and create your first Pull Request.

Get started

If you’d like to contribute but don’t know where to get started, you can take a look at existing issues:

• “Good First Bug” issues are a good entry point to get familiar with Jetpack’s code base.
• All issues labeled with the “Good For Community” label are fair game. That’s a great way to contribute new features and fix small issues within Jetpack.

We’re Here To Help

We encourage you to ask for help at any point. We want your first experience contributing to Jetpack to be a good one, so don’t be shy. If you’re wondering why something is the way it is, or how a decision was made, you can create an issue and prefix it with “Question:”.

Translate the plugin

If you speak a foreign language, you can help translate Jetpack into your own language. We have a guide on this here.
