Contributing Code
To get started with contributing code to Pumpkin, fork the repository on github
First create a github account if you don't already have one
Go to Pumpkin's Official Github Repository and press fork
Creating a fork means you now have your own copy of the Pumpkin source code, (this does not mean you own the copyright)
Now that you have a copy that you can edit, you will need a few tools
Install git for your operating system
To get started with git, visit Getting started with Git
Optional: If you want a graphical tool to interact with Github, install Github-Desktop
Github Desktop may be easier if you are not used to the command line, but it is not for everyone

If you are wanting to contribute code, install Rust at rust-lang.org.
If you are wanting to contribute to documentation, install NodeJS
