Getting Started

You, naturally, would like to start by forking the repository to get started. If you are new to Git and GitHub, do have a look at GitHub's Fork a repo guide for instructions on how you can do this. Once you have a fork of nvf, you should create a separate branch based on the most recent main branch. Give your branch a reasonably descriptive name (e.g. feature/debugger or fix/pesky-bug) and you are ready to work on your changes

Implement your changes and commit them to the newly created branch and when you are happy with the result, and positive that it fulfills our Contributing Guidelines, push the branch to GitHub and create a pull request. The default pull request template available on the nvf repository will guide you through the rest of the process, and we'll gently nudge you in the correct direction if there are any mistakes.
