Contribute to the Core Framework

You are encouraged to fork the Broadleaf Commerce Framework repository in GitHub. Once you've made changes, you can submit a pull request back to the Broadleaf team. Fix a bug that's stopping your team, add a feature, or work on items identified by others in Jira. For non-trivial code submissions, our team will require updated JavaDocs, test cases, and a signed contributor agreement before your changes can be included in the core framework distribution.
