We develop with GitHub
We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
InterMine Training Portal repository: https://github.com/intermine/training-portal
If you are new to GitHub, Open Source Guides will help you quick start.
All code changes happen through pull requests
In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same GitHub Flow. We actively welcome your pull requests:
- Fork the repo and create your branch from
master. - If you’ve added code that should be tested, add tests.
- Ensure the test suite passes.
- Make sure your code lints.
- Issue that pull request!
Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

Become a maintainer
Welcome! We’re excited to have you join the community. InterMine integrates biological data, but you don’t have to be a biologist to contribute to InterMine. Some of our entry-level issues only require knowledge of the relevant programming language, but others may require more in-depth understanding.
