# 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.
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 on our [blog](https://blog.comma.ai/).

## Getting Started
### 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
## 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

## 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://blog.comma.ai/a-2020-theme-externalization/).
Modules that are in seperate repositories include:
* cereal
* laika
* opendbc
* panda
* rednose
