There are several ways to participate in this project. This guide covers only the contribution of code (i.e. any change to any file in the repository).
There are basically two ways to contribute code to this project: Either via GitLab or via e‑mail. The first one is probably easier for most people. However
it requires a account at GitLab.com. For people who don’t want to create an account—or have any other reason to not use GitLab—e‑mail is an alternative option.

Sending a Pull Request via e‑mail requires to publish your copy of the repository (that includes your changes) at a publicly available URL (it is your responsibility to choose a trusted host).
