				| # How to contribute
 | |
| 
 | |
| Our software is open source so you can solve your own problems without needing help from others. And if you solve a problem and are so kind, you can upstream it for the rest of the world to use. Check out our [post about externalization](https://blog.comma.ai/a-2020-theme-externalization/).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Most open source development activity is coordinated through our [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/discussions) and [Discord](https://discord.comma.ai). A lot of documentation is available at https://docs.comma.ai and on our [blog](https://blog.comma.ai/).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Getting Started
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Setup your [development environment](../tools/)
 | |
|  * Join our [Discord](https://discord.comma.ai)
 | |
|  * Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
 | |
|  * Fork [our repositories](https://github.com/commaai) on GitHub
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### First contribution
 | |
| Try out some of these first pull requests ideas to dive into the codebase:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Increase our [mypy](http://mypy-lang.org/) coverage
 | |
| * Write some documentation
 | |
| * Tackle an open [good first issue](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Pull Requests
 | |
| 
 | |
| Pull requests should be against the master branch. Welcomed contributions include bug reports, car ports, and any [open issue](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/issues). If you're unsure about a contribution, feel free to open a discussion, issue, or draft PR to discuss the problem you're trying to solve.
 | |
| 
 | |
| A good pull request has all of the following:
 | |
| * a clearly stated purpose
 | |
| * every line changed directly contributes to the stated purpose
 | |
| * verification, i.e. how did you test your PR?
 | |
| * justification
 | |
|   * if you've optimized something, post benchmarks to prove it's better
 | |
|   * if you've improved your car's tuning, post before and after plots
 | |
| * passes the CI tests
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Car Ports
 | |
| 
 | |
| We've released a [Model Port guide](https://blog.comma.ai/openpilot-port-guide-for-toyota-models/) for porting to Toyota/Lexus models.
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you port openpilot to a substantially new car brand, see this more generic [Brand Port guide](https://blog.comma.ai/how-to-write-a-car-port-for-openpilot/).
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Testing
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Automated Testing
 | |
| 
 | |
| All PRs and commits are automatically checked by GitHub Actions. Check out `.github/workflows/` for what GitHub Actions runs. Any new tests should be added to GitHub Actions.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### Code Style and Linting
 | |
| 
 | |
| Code is automatically checked for style by GitHub Actions as part of the automated tests. You can also run these tests yourself by running `pre-commit run --all`.
