This document explains how to contribute changes to the Go project.
It assumes you have installed Go using the
<a href="/doc/install">installation instructions</a> and
<a href="/doc/install/source">installation instructions</a> and
have <a href="code.html">written and tested your code</a>.
(Note that the <code>gccgo</code> frontend lives elsewhere;
see <a href="gccgo_contribute.html">Contributing to gccgo</a>.)
