We love contributors! Please help us improve or fix the documentation by editing a document and making a pull request in Github.
The Drupal Commerce documentation site is built using MkDocs. It's built with Phyton and content written in Markdown. If you are familiar with Markdown, then you can easily contribute to the documentation!
The beauty of an open source project is that anyone can contribute. To contribute to an open source project you need not to be a programmer, there are other ways to contribute to an open source project than through code. The easiest way for non-programmers is to contribute through documentation.
If you have trouble understanding any part of the documentation, please notify those of us who work on this section by creating an issue and clearly explain what you don’t understand and why - we’re happy to hear from you, your contribution helps everyone!
You can also contribute directly on our documentation repository by editing the files through the GitHub{target=_blank} interface directly in your browser. Alternatively, you can clone the repository and edit the book in your favorite text editor.
The documentation site uses GitHub for documentation and for tracking issues. To choose an issue, go through the open issues, pick one you like and assign it to you or if you don't have permission to assign, then simply inform by commenting.
If you need help choosing an issue or working on one, join the Commerce 2.x office hours. They are held every wednesday at 5PM GMT+1 on the #commerce Drupal Slack channel.

Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before the changes are merged into the repository.
Start by creating a branch for your work. The branch name should contain a brief summary of its ID and the issue, e.g 106-create-product-type:
cd commerce-docs/v2
git checkout -b 106-create-product-typeOnce you’re done with documenting, push your commits to your fork:
git commit -am "Issue 106: Created documentation for product type."
git push fork 106-create-product-typeYou can now go to your fork’s GitHub page and create a pull request.
Once you create a pull request on GitHub, it runs checks on your pull request. If your changes pass checks then it can be reviewed by repository maintainers. You can get details about checks by clicking on Show all checks link as shown in below image.
To get the details about platform-based build for your pull request, click on the details link.
Note: Only first 10 open PRs gets the full build.
Getting feedback
To get the feedback on your pull request you need to ask somebody to review it, and Drupal Slack members are ready to review the pull requests for you. But first you will need an invite, you can get invite by submitting your email id here.
In the above image, a pull request was reviewed by reviewer and some changes are suggested. So we will make the suggested changes and push the changes.
# Change the desired files.
git commit -am "Addressed feedback."
git push fork 106-create-product-typeUpdating the branch will automatically update the related pull request.
Your forked repository and the original one (called origin) will eventually get out of sync. Periodically update your fork by doing:
# Update your local branch.
git checkout master
git pull origin/master
# Push the update to your GitHub fork.
git push fork masterYour pull request might also need rebasing, to re-apply your changes on top of the latest code. Once you’ve updated the master branch, rebase your branch:
git checkout 106-create-product-type
git rebase master
git push -f fork 106-create-product-typeThat’s it! Happy contributing!
