We're so glad you're thinking about contributing to this open source project! If you're unsure or afraid of anything, just ask or submit the issue or pull request anyway. The worst that can happen is that you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any sort of contribution, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the way of that.
Before contributing, we encourage you to read our CONTRIBUTING policy (you are here), our LICENSE, and our README, all of which should be in this repository.
If you want to report a bug or request a new feature, the most direct method is to create an issue in this repository. We recommend that you first search through existing issues (both open and closed) to check if your particular issue has already been reported. If it has then you might want to add a comment to the existing issue. If it hasn't then feel free to create a new one.
If you choose to submit a pull request, you will notice that our continuous integration (CI) system runs a fairly extensive set of linters and syntax checkers. Your pull request may fail these checks, and that's OK. If you want you can stop there and wait for us to make the necessary corrections to ensure your code passes the CI checks.
If you want to make the changes yourself, or if you want to become a regular contributor, then you will want to set up pre-commit on your local machine. Once you do that, the CI checks will run locally before you even write your commit message. This speeds up your development cycle considerably.
