Contributing to the DuckDuckGo repository

At DuckDuckGo, we truly appreciate our community members taking the time to contribute to our open-source repositories. In an effort to ensure contributions are easy for you to make and for us to manage, we have written some guidelines that we ask our contributors to follow so that we can handle pull requests in a timely manner with as little friction as possible.

Getting Started

Before you can do anything, you first need a GitHub account. This is required because we use GitHub to handle all incoming Pull Requests (code modifications) and Issues (bug reports) which cannot be made without a GitHub account.

Submitting a Bug or Suggestion

  • Firstly, please make sure the bug is related to the DuckDuckGo repository. If this bug is about the DuckDuckGo API, or the relevancy of our search results, please visit our feedback page at https://duckduckgo.com/feedback. If you're unsure, its best to use the feedback page (your message will be passed along to the correct people).

  • Check the DuckDuckGo issues to see if an issue already exists for the given bug or suggestion

    • If one doesn't exist, create a GitHub issue in the DuckDuckGo repository
      • Clearly describe the bug/improvemnt, including steps to reproduce when it is a bug
    • If one already exists, please add any additional comments you have regarding the matter
