Contributing to Pimcore

As an open source project we love to work together with our community to improve and develop our products. It's also important for us to make clear that we're not working for you or your company, but we enjoy to work together to solve issues or improve the product.

Contributing Pull Requests

We gladly accept community pull requests. This is the preferred way to contribute to Pimcore. There are a few necessary steps before we can accept a pull request:

  • Fork us!
  • Select the right branch. main(11.x) for features and improvements or latest maintenance branch for bug fixes (10.6)
  • Code! Follow the coding standards defined here and here
  • Send a pull request from your fork’s branch to our repo branch.
  • Sign the CLA - see also below.

Bug Reports

Please provide a fix for the bug as a pull request (PR) whenever possible!
If you've created a pull request, it's not necessary anymore to create an issue for the bug.

  • Only file an issue if you're not able to fix the bug and provide the patch as a pull request.
  • Please keep in mind that the Pimcore team will only work on system critical and security bugs.
  • Open an issue here on GitHub.
  • Report security issues only by using this form.
  • Please be patient as not all items will be tested immediately - remember, pimcore is open source and free of charge.
  • Occasionally we'll close issues if they appear stale or are too vague - please don't take this personally! Please feel free to re-open issues we've closed if there's something we've missed and they still need to be addressed.

Inactive Issue Closing Policy

Pimcore uses a bot that closes abandoned issues after a period of inactivity. If an issue was not labeled as "Priority" or "Backlog" by us, this means that we're not going to work on that anytime soon. In case of a bug report, you can create a pull request fixing the issue instead, which will be then reviewed as soon as possible. If you're interested in contributing a feature, please contact us first, before creating a pull request, we'll then decide whether we'd accept it or not.
