# Get involved
## Feedback and discussion
* For general comments, feedback and support, please post to the
[Haskell Community](https://discourse.haskell.org/about) forum.
* For bugs, issues, or requests, please
[open an issue](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/new).
* When using Stack Overflow, please use the
[haskell-stack](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/haskell-stack) tag.
## How to contribute to the maintenance or development of Stack
A [guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) is provided to help potential contributors to the
Stack project.
If you have already installed a version of Stack and the
[Git application](https://git-scm.com/) the followings steps should get you
started with building Stack from source with Stack:
1. Clone the `stack` repository from GitHub with the command:
~~~text
git clone https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack.git
~~~
2. Change the current working directory to the cloned `stack` directory with
the command:
~~~text
cd stack
~~~
3. Build the `stack` executable using a preexisting installation of Stack with
the command:
~~~text
stack build
~~~
4. Once the `stack` executable has been built, check its version with the
command:
~~~text
stack exec -- stack --version
~~~
Make sure the version is the latest one.
5. In the GitHub repository's issue tracker, look for issues tagged with
[newcomer friendly](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3a%22newcomer+friendly%22)
and
[awaiting pull request](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22awaiting+pull+request%22)
labels.
If you need to check your changes quickly command:
~~~text
stack repl
~~~
and then, at the REPL's prompt, command:
~~~text
:main --stack-root=<path_to_root> --stack-yaml=<path_to_stack.yaml> <COMMAND>
~~~
This allows you to set a special Stack root (instead of the default Stack root)
and to target your commands at a particular `stack.yaml` file instead of the one
found in the current directory.
