Iris_ is an Open Source project hosted on Github and as such anyone with a GitHub account may create an `issue`_ on our `Iris GitHub`_ project page for raising:
- bug reports
- feature requests
- documentation improvements
The `Iris GitHub`_ project has been configured to use templates for each of the above issue types when creating a `new issue`_ to ensure the appropriate information is provided.
Alternatively, join the conversation in Iris `GitHub Discussions`_, when you would like the opinions of the Iris community.
A `pull request`_ may also be created by anyone who has become a
|contributor|_ to Iris_. Permissions to merge pull requests to the
main branch are only given to |core developers|_ of Iris_, this is
to ensure a measure of control. All authors on a pull request will
automatically be asked to sign the
`SciTools Contributor's License Agreement (CLA)`_, if they have not already
done so.
To get started we suggest reading recent `issues`_, `GitHub Discussions`_ and `pull requests`_ for Iris.
