3 | You can help in numerous ways. This document should give you an overview of what |
4 | is possible and how you can get involved. It will **not** give you all information | |
5 | you need to successfully contribute to avoid content duplication between this | |
6 | document and our [wiki](https://wiki.ipfire.org/). Instead, it should guide you | |
7 | to the right places to look for further information. | |

21 | We use our own infrastructure for code hosting, accessible at `git.ipfire.org`. The |
22 | GitHub repositories are **only** mirrors of `git.ipfire.org`, available as a courtesy | |
23 | to the internet community. | |

27 | In order to contribute, you certainly need to build the distribution at some point. |
28 | See [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/ipfire-2-x/build-howto) for a long guide | |
29 | how to do that. | |

33 | We have a bug tracker located [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/bugzilla). Further |

39 | Unfortunately, we do not accept GitHub pull requests. Instead, we are working with patches |
40 | which are sent to our mailing list `<development@lists.ipfire.org>`. This process might | |
41 | be a bit tricky in the beginning. That's why you can find more information how to do | |
42 | this [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/submit-patches). | |
