The files that Glade works on are in gnucash/glade, gnucash/ui, and gnucash/gtkbuilder.
These are XML files that are loaded at runtime by GtkBuilder (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkBuilder.html <https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkBuilder.html>, with descriptions of individual elements in the pages about the specific widgets).
Most other files are program files in Scheme (foo.scm), C (foo.c or foo.h), or C++ (foo.cpp, foo.hpp, or foo.h). For those you’ll use your regular code editor or IDE.

You need to get a Github.com <http://github.com/> account and “fork” the gnucash/gnucash repository in order to create a pull request. There are basic instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GIT <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GIT> and a really excellent free book plus all of the man pages at https://git-scm.com/doc <https://git-scm.com/doc>.
