The Salesforce GitHub Repository

Salesforce Developers are encouraged to use the Salesforce Community to collaborate on issues related to the Salesforce platform. Salesforce Developers who work on the front end of an organization can use the Salesforce GitHub repository to solicit and pull requests for new features they wish to implement. Pull requests are submitted by users, not by the organization, to solicit enhancement requests. The organization reviews pull requests based on their technical criteria and then submits the code as a pull request with appropriate documentation to the Salesforce repository. The Salesforce organization ensures that each pull request is reviewed and, if needed, revised before it is released. By participating in the Salesforce Community and contributing code to the Salesforce repository, developers gain experience improving their skills and knowledge without having to outsource the work to a developer, which saves time and expense.
