Contributing Code

If you’re interested in contributing code to Avogadro, we recommend that you understand the GitHub Flow including Forking Repositories to make changes with the Git version control system, and finally making a Pull Request for others to review, test, and merge into the main version of Avogadro.

We have several suggestions as far as coding style and conventions in C++ as well as the need to document your code with comments and Doxygen API docs (which ultimately become part of this website).
