    Review and submit pull requests

    As you become more familiar with how Ansible works, you may be able to fix issues or develop new features yourself. If you think you’ve got a solution to a bug you’ve found in Ansible, or if you’ve got a new feature that you’ve written and would like to share with millions of Ansible users, read all about the Ansible development process to learn how to get your code accepted into Ansible.

    Once you’ve learned about the development process and have contributed code to a particular module, we encourage you to become a maintainer of that module. There are hundreds of different modules in Ansible, and the vast majority of them are written and maintained entirely by members of the Ansible community.
