  Sass has an awesome community of designers and developers who love to spread
  the word and help people out. Here we’ve collected some resources. Happy
  Styling!

      __Everyone is welcome in the Sass community, except those who are
      unwelcoming__. Please read and follow our [community
      guidelines](/community-guidelines).

      Still __getting started__? There are some great [tutorials](#Tutorials)
      out there to get you on your feet. Want to __learn more__? There's some
      great [Sass blogs](#Blogs) (including [a few particular
      articles](#Articles) we recommend reading), and even a few [books about
      Sass](#Books) to help you learn some new tips and tricks.

      The Sass community is amazing. There are a number of
      [frameworks](#Frameworks) that make using Sass simple. Want try Sass in
      Node, Python, or another framework? Check out the [libSass
      resources](/libsass).

      Thinking of __contributing__  to Sass itself? We rely on everyone to keep
      Sass as stable as it is. Feel free to [submit a patch via pull
      request](#Contribute) to the Sass project.

      Want to create your own Sass implementation? Check out our [implementation
      guidelines](/implementation).

%h2#Contribute Contribute

:markdown
  Sass is an [open source project][github] and we encourage you to contribute.
  You can contribute with [bug reports and feature requests][issues], and if you
  contribute code, we'll love you forever. If you just want to help out but
  you're not sure what to do, the [Help Wanted label][help] on the issue tracker
  is a good place to start. It has a mix of feature requests, bugs, and tasks
  that aren't coding-intensive that the developers think are a good place for
  someone new to the codebase to jump in.

  When writing code, there are two primary branches we use. The [stable
  branch][github] is the default; is where we do development on the released
  version of Sass. Bug fixes for released functionality, documentation
  improvements, and and general infrastructure stuff should all go on stable.
  The [master branch][master] is where we work on the next version of Sass. Once
  you've followed the steps below, new features should be submitted to master.

  [master]:  https://github.com/sass/sass/tree/master
  [planned]: https://github.com/sass/sass/labels/Planned

  The Sass codebase is pretty big, and it can be intimidating to navigate it and
  understand the best way to make a change. If you need help, make a post on
  [the Sass mailing list][list]; the Sass developers are happy to assist, even
  if you don't have much experience with Ruby or programming as a whole. They
  can answer questions about how the system works, suggest avenues for solving
  problems, and review your code once it's written.

  Whether you're adding a feature or fixing a bug, if it changes publicly
  visible behavior, it's important to write automated tests for it. All the
  tests live in the `test/sass` directory; find the test file that's most
  closely related to your change, and add a test or tests there. For a feature,
  make sure your tests fully cover all the ways that feature could be used,
  including ways it could be invalid.

  Once you've written a patch with tests, send it to us as a [pull request][]. A
  developer will look it over, and will probably make some suggestions and
  requests. Once you address those, it'll get merged in!

%h2#AddingSyntax Adding Syntax

:markdown
  The biggest and most impressive features of Sass usually involve adding new
  syntax of some sort. This can be pretty fun—something that used to be an error
  starts working because you made it—but syntax changes are also a lot of work.
  For statement-level syntax like a new `@`-rule, you have to:

  * Add a node for the syntax to the abstract syntax tree in
  [`lib/sass/tree`][tree].

  * Parse the syntax in SCSS to the node. The SCSS parser is in
  [`lib/sass/scss/parser.rb`][scss parser].

  * Parse the syntax in the indented syntax to the node. The indented syntax
  parser is in [`lib/sass/engine.rb`][sass parser].

  * Add support for setting the compilation options on the node in
  [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/set_options.rb`][set options].

  * Add support for cloning the node in
  [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/deep_copy.rb`][deep copy].

  * If the syntax is just something new from pure CSS, add support for compiling
    it to CSS in [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/to_css.rb`][to css]. If it's for a
    Sass feature that's not part of CSS, add runtime behavior in
    [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/perform.rb`][perform] or
    [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/cssize.rb`][cssize].

  * Add support for converting the syntax back to SCSS and the indented syntax
    with `sass-convert` in [`lib/sass/tree/visitors/convert.rb`][convert]. Don't
    forget to test this conversion, too!
