Contribute to PowerToys: A Guide for Power Users

PowerToys is a suite of Windows utilities designed specifically for power users, and it's an open-source project that welcomes contributions from the community. If you're interested in contributing to PowerToys, this guide will walk you through the process, highlighting the various ways you can get involved.

Firstly, it's essential to review the release notes, which are available on the install page of the GitHub repository. This will give you a comprehensive understanding of what's new and what's been updated in the latest version of PowerToys.

Before starting work on a feature or bug fix, we recommend reading the Contributor's Guide. This guide outlines the process for contributing code, identifying and fixing bugs, and submitting design concepts or recommendations.

One way to contribute is by writing code for new features and utilities. If you have an idea for a new tool that would benefit power users, we encourage you to submit it. The PowerToys development team will be happy to work with you to figure out the best approach, provide guidance and mentorship throughout feature development, and help avoid any wasted or duplicate effort.

Another way to contribute is by identifying and fixing bugs in the source code. If you've encountered an issue while using PowerToys, we'd love to hear about it. View instructions on how to report a bug in the Report a Bug section of these docs. You can also search known issues or file a new issue in the Issues tab of the PowerToys repository on GitHub.

Additionally, if you have a design concept or recommendation for improving PowerToys, we're all ears! Submit your ideas and we'll work with you to turn them into reality.

PowerToys welcomes your contributions, and we're excited to partner with the power user community to build tools that help users get the most out of Windows. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, there's always something you can do to contribute.
