[GNC] Contribution to GNC code base pointers

[John Ralls]

Kalpesh,

A good place to start is https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development. There are links there to pages with coding guidlelines and how to make a pull request.

You subscribe to the devel mailing list the same way you did this one.

Unless you’re already familiar with MSYS2/Mingw64 it’s probably a lot easier to get going on *nix. You don’t even need a separate machine, Windows Subsystem for Linux works very well indeed: It’s what I’ve been using since my last Intel Mac croaked last January, taking my Linux VMs with it.

Do you already have a bugzilla account?

Regards,
John Ralls
