We fork it.We fix it.We send it back.

forked.win is an open-source group that picks up other people's projects and makes them better, one pull request at a time.

Other people's code, in better shape.

Maintainers are stretched thin. We read the issue tracker, pick up the bugs nobody has time for, and send patches that are ready to merge.

We keep it simple and respectful of the project we're helping. The upstream maintainers set the rules; we follow them.

We find an open issue, read the contributing guide, and make our own copy to work in.

git fork upstream/project

Small, focused changes with tests and clear commit messages. Two of us review before anything leaves the group.

git commit -m "fix: ..."

We open the pull request, answer feedback, and stay on it until it lands or the maintainers say no thanks.

git push && open PR

We ask before starting large changes, and we never open a pull request that creates more review work than it saves.

Our patches, our reviews and our mistakes are all in the open. You can read exactly how we work.

Bring a bug you've been annoyed by. Beginners are welcome, and so are veterans who are tired of watching good projects stall.
