There are lots of things that developers of any level can do to help contribute. Simply adding comments to existing code, updating documentation, small code refactors or entirely new features are all welcome additions. It's always best to start small and increase complexity over time.
Branch from develop and target pull request to develop. Releases will be a pull request from develop targeting master.
You could also help writing tests in blitz as well. All tests should live under the tests folder and you can run all tests by running the test.bat script. Tests are run before every git commit locally and must pass for your commit to succeed.
If you are familiar with C++ you can help by making improvements or changes to the Blitz runtime source code.
You can contribute just by being a part of the community and participating in discussions. We would love to see you there!
