Talk to us

There are two ways you can talk with our community about development related topics:

Suggest improvements

See a problem or think of something that we could do better? Check our issues to see if it’s already been mentioned or discussed. If it has, join the conversation to add your take. Otherwise, go ahead and create an issue with more detail than you think is necessary.

All of our code is in the Debezium Organization on GitHub, and currently we have several repositories.

  1. Get your development environment set up with the latest code, following the instructions in CONTRIBUTE.md.

  2. Check our open issues, especially those with the help_wanted label.

  3. Look at previous pull requests to learn our coding style and conventions.

  4. Ask fellow developers for guidance if you’re not sure how to proceed, get stuck, or simply need confirmation that you’re headed in the right direction.

  5. Make your changes and create a pull request, following our guidelines.
