Contributing to the OfficeDevPnP for the first time may seem intimidating, but is actually quite simple. In fact the only requirements are a free GitHub account and a web browser.
Personal and hands-on guidance is available to you for completing your very first OfficeDevPnP contribution.
The Sharing-Is-Caring repository provides the opportunity to walk you through, from start to finish, your first OfficeDevPnP pull request and the tutorial contribution will even count as an official contribution, placing your name on the contributor list for that month!
Each month, a pre-scheduled, live hands-on tutorial session will be available for first time OfficeDevPnP contributions.
NOTE: Additional sessions may be added based on demand
The session will provide the following hands-on experience for each attendee:
- SharePoint development documentation updates using GitHub
- Submitting documentation updates such as spelling and grammar corrections with a GitHub pull request
- Understanding of the OfficeDevPnP pull request process, including providing a useful and accurate pull request description.
- For each attendee, a personalized documentation update will be prepared, allowing all attending to experience the pull request process, from start to finish.
Session Requirements:
- Free GitHub account
- Web Browser

Contributing a code sample to the OfficeDevPnP can be more complex then a first time documentation contribution, but it is nothing to be afraid of. In addition to the requirements of a first time contribution (GitHub account & a web browser), the only additional requirement is the installation of VSCode.

If you would like to contribute to the SPFx PnP initiatives, but don't yet have any of your own custom samples, there is still an opportunity to contribute. Existing samples, which have been created and submitted using an older version of SPFx, can be upgraded to the newest version of SPFx using the "Project Upgrade" with the Office365 CLI. The updated sample can then be submitted back into the original sample PnP repository using a GitHub pull request.
A sample upgrade contribution helps by keeping the SPFx samples updated and counts as an official PnP contribution.
