All you need to start contributing is a GitHub account.

A good starting point is testing pull requests (PRs), as we always need at least 2 successful tests for each PR before it can be merged. Detailed instructions for [https://docs.joomla.org/Testing_Joomla!_patches testing Joomla! patches] are found on the documentation site.

If you are comfortable with coding, you can create PRs for open issues as well.

We use [https://joomlacommunity.cloud.mattermost.com Mattermost] for team communication, so you are encouraged to create an account there, if you have not yet. The "PD Bug Squad" channel is for Bug Squad contributors. Drop a mail to the [mailto:bugsquad@community.joomla.org Bug Squad], if you can't get into that channel. You will be added manually then.

Joomla! uses [https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms GitHub] as its code repository and the [http://issues.joomla.org Joomla! Issue Tracker] for reporting bugs. You will need your GitHub user account to

* report issues on the [http://issues.joomla.org CMS Issue tracker].
* submit patches (PRs) against the Joomla code repository for bug fixes.
* test patches using the [http://joom.la/patchtester Joomla! Patch Tester].
