GitHub is giving you the power. At GitHub, we believe in the collective power of the community. The community has so much to offer and everyone is so knowledgeable. That's why, this October, we open sourced our GitHub Docs.

Did you know the GitHub Docs are open source? We’d love your help to make them even better this #hacktoberfest. Open a discussion and let us know how we can help you learn GitHub. github.com/github/docs/di…20:30 PM - 08 Oct 2020
We wanted to give you the power to shape the documentation you know and love. We're encouraging you to engage, discuss, collaborate, and contribute to the docs that make your life easier.
Whether you're a first time contributor or a veteran to open source, the Docs team wants you. Contributions are welcome from everyone, no matter what background or skill level.
GitHub Docs are written in markdown which most people are familiar with. Even if you're not, markdown is relatively easy to learn and understand. The Docs website is written in JavaScript and Node. Since the two are separated - the website and the Docs - you don't need to be a JavaScript expert to contribute to GitHub Docs.

Open an issue to get started with your contributions. And if you want to work on a specific issue or feature request, open a pull request.
Plus there's lots of other ways to be involved too, and tonnes of plans for the future of GitHub Docs. Head over to the Docs website to check it out and enter to repo to get started today. We're looking forward to seeing lots of you engaging in GitHub Docs and we're excited to bring the power of GitHub Docs back to the community.

We accept different types of contributions, including some that don't require you to write a single line of code.
On the GitHub Docs site, you can click the make a contribution button at the bottom of the page to open a pull request for quick fixes like typos, updates, or link fixes.
For more complex contributions, you can open an issue using the most appropriate issue template to describe the changes you'd like to see.
