# Quickstart

> How to get started contributing to Spree

Spree is an open, community-powered project that anyone can contribute to. There are several ways you can help us improve Spree:

* fixing a bug or creating a new feature
* creating a Spree extension
* upgrading old extensions to recent Spree versions
* helping others on Spree Discord
* submitting an issue describing a bug or a feature request

## Fixing a bug or creating a new feature

Before diving into the Spree codebase we recommend you spend some time reviewing the [Core Concepts section](/core-concepts) which will help you understand how Spree works under the hood.

After you're done with that please follow to [Developing Spree guide](developing-spree)

To find issues you can tackle on we recommend visiting [Spree Contribute page](https://github.com/spree/spree/contribute) which lists issues tagged with [Good First Issue label](https://github.com/spree/spree/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Good+First+Issue%22). Those bugs or features are great starting points into Open Source development.

## Creating a Spree extension

Extensions provide additional features and integrations for your Spree store. You can create your own and share with the rest of the community. Before doing so please check our [Extension directory](/developer/customization/extensions) if your desired extension does not exist already. If not [follow Extensions tutorial](../contributing/extensions_tutorial) to learn how to create one.

## Helping others on Spree Discord

Last but not least, you're invited to [join our Discord](https://discord.spreecommerce.org) to help and receive guidance from fellow Spree developers including Spree Core Team.

## Submitting issues

You can [submit an issue](https://github.com/spree/spree/issues/new/choose) on our [Github Issues tracker](https://github.com/spree/spree/issues)
