Contributing

If you'd like to contribute to the CircuitPython project, the CircuitPython libraries are a great way to begin. This page is updated daily with status information from the CircuitPython libraries, including open pull requests, open issues and library infrastructure issues.

If this is your first time contributing, or you'd like to see our recommended contribution workflow, we have a guide on Contributing to CircuitPython with Git and Github. You can also find us in the #circuitpython channel on the Adafruit Discord.
