Community is core to what makes Liquibase successful. So, we’re making it easier to participate with a centralized source of information for getting involved. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the debut of contribute.liquibase.com – and to show you the many ways you can contribute to the Liquibase open-source project.

As a leading open-source database version control tool, Liquibase ensures efficient schema change management for software teams across the globe. This new website offers comprehensive resources, how-to guides, and community support designed to help everyone, from novices to experts, navigate the process of contributing to Liquibase’s transformative project.

Share your Liquibase expertise

For many open-source projects, “contribute” is a synonym for “send a pull request”. At Liquibase, however, we know the community’s contributions go well beyond that.

Sharing your Liquibase experience helps others understand more about Liquibase and learn how they can apply it to their projects and challenges.

You can also lend your brain power to support others on the discussion and Q&A sites frequented by Liquibase users.

Contribute code
