[keycloak-dev] How to beging hacking with keycloak

[Stian Thorgersen]

To get your feet wet it is a good idea to start with a bug. Look for bugs
that do not already have anyone assigned, add a comment and state that you
would like to contribute a fix. Remember we do like a bug fix to be
accompanied by a test.

Once you've done a few bugs you should understand better what we expect
from you, as well as the code base and testsuite, you can look at
implementing a feature or an enhancement. For feature requests and
enhancements we do suggest you start a thread on keycloak-dev mailing list
prior to putting effort into it. This way we can confirm that it is a
feature that we actually would like and we can have an initial chat around
design. Having the conversation on keycloak-dev first can save you both
time and frustration. At times we may need to reject particular features
and enhancements as we do not want Keycloak to become bloated. This can be
very disappointing if you have spent time on a feature only to have it
rejected, so talk to us first! We also expect you to put the effort into
fully testing and documenting your contributions.

Last point is it may make sense to pick something that you care about. A
bug that may affect you, or is in an area of your expertise, or just
something that sounds cool for you to work on.
