| ## Contributing to GCC |
| |
| Thanks for taking the time to contribute to GCC! |
| |
| Please be advised that all mirrors on `github.com` are unofficial and unmonitored. |
| |
| The GCC community does not use `github.com` for their contributions. Instead, we use |
| a mailing list (`gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org`) for code submissions, code |
| reviews, and bug reports. A guide for those unfamiliar with the process can be |
| found on the ["Contributing to GCC in 10 easy steps"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted#Basics:_Contributing_to_GCC_in_10_easy_steps) |
| section of the ["Getting Started" wiki page](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GettingStarted). |
| |
| In addition, the GCC project uses a [forgejo instance](https://forge.sourceware.org/gcc/gcc) |
| to enable contributors to submit pull requests for review. These pull requests |
| are not automatically merged, they are sent to the mailing list via automation for you, |
| and can be reviewed either on the forge or on the mailing list itself. |
| To make use of this, follow the instruction in the ["Using Forge"](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/UsingForge) page. |
| |
| Please read ["Contributing to GCC"](https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html) on the main GCC |
| website to learn how the GCC project is managed, and how you can work with it. |
| |
| Your friendly GCC community! |
