Since the migration to GitHub, contributing to the project become even easier!

For newbies

To commit your changes into the repository, follow these steps:

  1. If you don't have GitHub account, create it first
  2. Fork the ReactOS repository into your own GitHub account
  3. Make sure you set up your full name and correct public e-mail in your account settings (this is required by our contributing rules)
  4. Commit changes in your new forked repository following our commit message style.
    1. Each pull request needs a unique branch, so it is recommended to always create a new branch!
    2. Updates to the pull request can be done by committing to this branch again (and pushing it)
  5. Create a Pull Request from your branch using either GitHub interface or GitHub Desktop App

For developers

Please follow Workflow guide.

Once you have created a Pull Request, you may want to communicate with module maintainer for review and merge your code.
