Every release of both GNOME and Builder, we try to lower the barrier a bit more for new contributions. Bastian mentioned to me at GUADEC that we could make things even simpler from the Builder side of things. After a few mockups, I finally found some time to start implementing it.
With the upcoming Nightly build of Builder, you’ll be able to warp right through cloning and building of an application that is ready for newcomer contributions. Just open Builder and click on the application’s icon.
There is still more to do here, like adding a language emblem and such. Of course, if you want to work on that, do get in touch.
