The Redpanda docs are open source, and we welcome your contributions!
To contribute to the Redpanda docs, you have the following options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Suggest a change by opening an issue on GitHub. | |
Make changes directly to the documentation and submit them through a pull request. |
The Redpanda docs team uses GitHub issues to track, plan, and prioritize tasks. To suggest changes, you can create an issue, which the team will then evaluate:
Verify whether a similar issue already exists in that repository to avoid duplication.
Go to Issues > New Issue to create a new issue.
You have the option to assign the issue to yourself or leave the assignee field blank. The Redpanda docs team triages all new issues and will allocate a writer if one isn’t already assigned.
If you are a Redpanda employee, submit doc issues in the Documentation Jira board.
You have two options to contribute to the documentation:
Directly edit a page on GitHub by selecting Make a contribution > Edit on GitHub located at the bottom of a documentation page.
Clone the docs repository to make changes locally on your machine, then open a pull request.
Check the open docs issues. If you find an issue you’d like to work on:
If the issue is already assigned to someone else, please consider another one.
If the issue is unassigned, add a comment expressing your interest in working on it.
