# Contributing to Umbraco CMS
👍🎉 First of all, thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉👍
These contribution guidelines are mostly just that - guidelines, not rules. This is what we've found to work best over the years, but if you choose to ignore them, we still love you! 💖 Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.
We have a guide on [what to consider before you start](contributing-before-you-start.md) and more detailed guides at the end of this article.
## Contribution guide
This guide describes each step to make your first contribution:
1. **Fork**
Create a fork of [`Umbraco-CMS` on GitHub](https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS)
![Fork the repository](img/forkrepositorynew.png)
2. **Clone**
When GitHub has created your fork, you can clone it in your favorite Git tool or on the command line with `git clone https://github.com/[YourUsername]/Umbraco-CMS`.

3. **Switch to the correct branch**
Switch to the `main` branch
4. **Branch out**
Create a new branch based on `main` and name it after the issue you're fixing. For example: `v15/bugfix/18132-rte-tinymce-onchange-value-check`.
Please follow this format for branches: `v{major}/{feature|bugfix|task}/{issue}-{description}`.
This is a development branch for the particular issue you're working on, in this case, a bug-fix for issue number `18132` that affects Umbraco v.15.
Don't commit to `main`, create a new branch first.
5. **Build or run a Development Server**
You can build or run a Development Server with any IDE that supports .NET or the command line.
Read [Build or run a Development Server](BUILD.md) for the right approach to your needs.
6. **Change**
Make your changes, experiment, have fun, explore and learn, and don't be afraid. We welcome all contributions and will [happily give feedback](contributing-first-issue.md#questions).
7. **Commit and push**
Done? Yay! 🎉
Remember to commit to your branch. When it's ready, push the changes to your fork on GitHub.
8. **Create pull request**
On GitHub, in your forked repository (`https://github.com/[YourUsername]/Umbraco-CMS`), you will see a banner saying that you pushed a new branch and a button to make a pull request. Tap the button and follow the instructions.
