# Contributing to the MariaDB Jupyter Kernel Project

Welcome! <3\
The MariaDB Jupyter Kernel is an Open-Source project licensed under BSD-new. Feel free to create new Issues for feature requests or bug reports. Code, tests, and documentation contributions are welcome :-)\
Friendly advice or feedback about the project counts as a contribution too!

Please check out the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb_kernel/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)\
file for information on:

1. How to set up development environment
2. Running the tests
3. Code formatting
4. Adding a new magic command

The reasoning for having the [Contributing](https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb_kernel/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) documentation on GitHub is that it is closer to the actual code and it feels right to have it there. We also believe it fosters a cozy and welcoming environment for new contributors if both the code and the [Contributing](https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb_kernel/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) documentation sit near each other.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mariadb.com/docs/connectors/other/mariadb-jupyter-kernel/contributing-to-the-mariadb-jupyter-kernel-project.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
