Thank you for helping. Issues, fixes, docs, sections and packs are all
welcome.
## Sending a change
New accounts on git.coffeylabs.org can file issues but can't push or fork.
Until you have repository access, open an
[issue](https://git.coffeylabs.org/coffey-labs/hotdog-cms/issues) for the change, or say hello
on [community.coffeylabs.org](https://community.coffeylabs.org), and attach the
change to the issue as a patch:
```sh
git format-patch origin/main --stdout > my-change.patch
```
Repository access goes to volunteers we have worked with; a few good issues or
patches is the usual way in. After that you push a branch here and open a pull
request. The GitHub copy is a read-only mirror, so pull requests opened
there are not merged.
