Issue Hunting

One of the most valuable contributions you can make is finding and addressing existing issues. Check out our GitHub issue tracker to discover problems, bugs, or feature requests that require attention. Feel free to seek clarification or additional information on any issue that catches your interest.

If you decide to work on a particular issue, ensure you are assigned to it or indicate your intention to prevent duplicate efforts. Once you have a solution, submit a pull request to share your proposed changes with the community for review.

We love hearing fresh ideas for Shpyrd! If you have exciting proposals for new features that could enhance the project, we'd like to know. Start by creating a new GitHub issue that describes the feature in detail. Engage with the community on Discord to gather feedback and refine your concept.

Remember, collaboration with the community and project maintainers will help shape the proposal and ensure its successful implementation.
