# 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.
|
|
|
|
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 on our [medium](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/).
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
|
|
## 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`.
|
|
|
|
## Car Ports (openpilot)
|
|
|
|
We've released a [Model Port guide](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/openpilot-port-guide-for-toyota-models-e5467f4b5fe6) for porting to Toyota/Lexus models.
|
|
|
|
If you port openpilot to a substantially new car brand, see this more generic [Brand Port guide](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/how-to-write-a-car-port-for-openpilot-7ce0785eda84).

|
|
## Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
Pull requests should be against the master branch. Before running master on in-car hardware, you'll need to clone the submodules too. That can be done by recursively cloning the repository:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/commaai/openpilot.git --recursive
|
|
```
|
|
Or alternatively, when on the master branch:
|
|
```
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
```
|
|
The reasons for having submodules on a dedicated repository and our new development philosophy can be found in our [post about externalization](https://medium.com/@comma_ai/a-2020-theme-externalization-13b33326d8b3).
|
|
Modules that are in seperate repositories include:
|
|
* cereal
|
|
* laika
|
|
* opendbc
|
|
* panda
|
|
* rednose
