## We develop with GitHub
We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
InterMine Training Portal repository: https://github.com/intermine/training-portal
If you are new to GitHub, [Open Source Guides](https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#how-to-submit-a-contribution) will help you quick start.
## We use [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), so all code changes happen through pull requests
Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html)). We actively welcome your pull requests:
1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `master`.
2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
3. Ensure the test suite passes.
4. Make sure your code lints.
5. Issue that pull request!

## Become a maintainer
Welcome! We’re excited to have you join the community. InterMine integrates biological data, but you don’t have to be a biologist to contribute to InterMine. Some of our entry-level issues only require knowledge of the relevant programming language, but others may require more in-depth understanding.
