Contributing and Reporting Bugs

If you would like to contribute financial support to the project, the best way to proceed is to purchase a license for one of the WhiteboxTools Extension products or by purchasing a WhiteboxTools Open-Core binary. The proceeds from the sales go towards paying developers who work on the open-core portion of the WhiteboxTools platform. Each license sale goes a long way towards making the ongoing development of WhiteboxTools more sustainable.

If you would like to contribute to the project as a developer, follow these instructions to get started:

  1. Fork the WhiteboxTools project ( https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools )
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
  3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
  5. Create a new Pull Request

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work shall be licensed under the MIT License without any additional terms or conditions.
