Contribution Guide

Vito is developed and maintained by its author, so pull requests are not accepted. You can still make a real difference by reporting bugs, sharing ideas, and giving detailed feedback. Clear, well-described issues are the most valuable contribution you can make.

Everything goes through GitHub Issues. Pick the template that matches your case:

Template	Use it for
🐞 Bug Report	Something is broken or behaves incorrectly
✨ Feature Request	Something new that Vito doesn't do yet
🔧 Improvement	Making an existing feature work better or easier to use
📚 Documentation	Missing, outdated or unclear documentation
❓ Question	Asking how to do something with Vito

Before opening a new issue, search the existing issues and add your details to a matching one instead of creating a duplicate.

Reporting Bugs

Open a bug report. Please fill in every required field so the issue can be reproduced and fixed quickly:

Installation type and Vito version — hover over the Vito icon in your dashboard to see the version.
Area and server environment — which part of Vito is affected, and the OS, provider and services involved.
What happened — a clear description of the bug.
Steps to reproduce — the exact steps that trigger the issue.
Expected behavior — what you expected to happen instead.
Logs — relevant sections from Vito Logs (bottom left corner of the dashboard) and failed jobs from the Horizon Dashboard.
Screenshots or recordings — whenever they help explain the problem.

Remove any secrets, tokens, passwords, or private keys from logs and screenshots before posting them.
