|  | # How to Contribute
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Welcome to [OpenMetadata](https://open-metadata.org/). Our goal is to build an Open standard for Metadata. We genuinely believe this mission can only be achieved through building a great community. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | We ❤️ all contributions, big and small! | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## GitHub issues
 | ||
|  | Look for issues under [GitHub/issues tab](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/issues). If you have a feature request or found a bug please file an issue. This will help us track and will help the community overall as well. | ||

|  | ```shell | ||
|  | cd OpenMetadata/ | ||
|  | git remote add upstream https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata.git | ||

|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```shell | ||
|  | git checkout -b ISSUE-200 | ||
