For many developers, the idea of contributing to Gutenberg or WordPress is an appealing but perhaps daunting idea.

In this live stream, we walk through the whole process of contributing to Gutenberg. We start by getting the code set up locally, then we create a new issue in the Gutenberg repository. After that, we build and test our new feature and then submit a new Pull Request for it.

If you’re new to contribution or just want to see how someone else approaches it, then this video is for you!
