Are you interested in contributing to GitLab? Check out the available contribution opportunities here.
From the beginning, GitLab has been an open source project and we want to continue growing community code contribution. This will be accomplished by lowering the barrier to entry for new contributors and also by helping casual contributors become regular contributors. We want GitLab to be the open source project of choice for open source developers.
The current Code Contributor Program manager is Christos Bacharakis and you can find his contact information on his profile.
Alternatively, you can reach out to contributors AT gitlab DOT com
via e-mail.
Like most open source projects, the GitLab Community also has a code of conduct to foster an open and welcoming environment. Instances of abusive, harassive, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to conduct@gitlab.com
.
In case of a code of conduct violation, the following steps will be taken:
@abuse-team
in the #abuse
Slack channel to block the individual from GitLab.com.In general, it is best not to argue with someone who is not being constructive/respectful, and one should just focus on facts if you need to respond. If you need help with your response (including reviewing a draft of your response), you can ask in the #community-relations
channel in Slack or email conduct@gitlab.com
.
This section contains useful resources for GitLab code contributors.
If you are looking to get help for any topics in regards to your Contribution Journey please refer to the get-help section at the contributing guide. For example:
A GitLab contributor room is available on Gitter for people interested in contributing to GitLab. This is open to everyone to join and is a good place for community members to network and help each other.
Community events are taking place regularly to support our thriving community of contributors and drive contributions. All of the events are posted on our meetup group.
Events
We want to recognize amazing contributions from the wider community with GitLab swags. All GitLab team members and members of the wider community are encouraged to nominate others or themselves (for campaigns such as #myfirstMRmerge - having their first MR merged). Please refer to the nomination criteria and form for more details.
GitLab team members or the Code Contributor Program manager can refer to the Code Contributor Operations handbook page for all the necessary information about the program.
