If you are here it means you are considering contributing to *Avalanche*. It is thanks to people like you that we are making *Avalanche* a reality! 😍

In order to contribute the this awesome framework we recommend to go through the "*From Zero to Hero*" *Avalanche* Tutorial:

{% content-ref url="../from-zero-to-hero-tutorial/01\_introduction" %}
[01\_introduction](https://avalanche.continualai.org/from-zero-to-hero-tutorial/01_introduction)
{% endcontent-ref %}

In this tutorial you'll learn Avalanche *in-depth* and learn how to extend and contribute back to the community! In particular, be sure to read the "*Contribute to Avalanche*" chapter:

{% endcontent-ref %}

At the moment, we don't have a lot of rules for contributing or a strict *code of conduct*, please enjoy this freedom with a grain of salt! 😁
