Please see the CONTRIBUTING file for how to help. At Instagram, we sync the open source version of IGListKit daily, so we're always testing the latest changes. But that requires all changes be thoroughly tested and follow our style guide.
We have a set of starter tasks that are great for beginners to jump in on and start contributing.
