# Contributing overview

> Set up an InteraOne contribution, choose an issue, keep scope focused, verify changes, and respect the repository licenses.

InteraOne welcomes focused fixes, features, tests, integrations, and documentation improvements. Start by reading the repository `CONTRIBUTION.md`, issue templates, pull-request template, root license, and `ee/LICENSE` when enterprise code is involved.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose or open an issue">
    Confirm the problem, expected behavior, affected application, and whether the change belongs in open-source or enterprise code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fork and branch">
    Create a short-lived branch from the current target branch. Keep unrelated refactors out of the change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Develop locally">
    Follow [local development](/contributing/local-development) and match the existing domain/module patterns.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify proportionally">
    Run focused tests while iterating, then lint, type-check, build, and integration checks relevant to the changed packages.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a pull request">
    Explain the user impact, implementation, testing, screenshots/API examples, configuration changes, and rollout/rollback concerns.
  </Step>
</Steps>
