# How To Contribute To Sherlock
First off, thank you for the help!
There are many ways to contribute. Here is some high level grouping.
## Adding New Sites
Please look at the Wiki entry on
[adding new sites](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock/wiki/Adding-Sites-To-Sherlock)
to understand the issues.
Any new sites that are added need to have a username that has been claimed, and one
that is unclaimed documented in the site data. This allows the regression tests
to ensure that everything is working.
2021-10-28 03:41:29 +00:00
It is required that a contributor test any new sites by either running the full tests, or running
a site-specific query against the claimed and unclaimed usernames.
2021-10-28 03:41:29 +00:00
It is not required that a contributor run the
[site_list.py](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock/blob/master/site_list.py)
script.
If there are performance problems with a site (e.g. slow to respond, unreliable uptime, ...), then
the site may be removed from the list. The
[removed_sites.md](https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock/blob/master/removed_sites.md)
file contains sites that were included at one time in Sherlock, but had to be removed for
one reason or another.
## Adding New Functionality
Please ensure that the content on your branch passes all tests before submitting a pull request.
