You make a copy of the code (“fork”) for yourself, make edits, then request that your changes be accepted into the original project (“pull/merge request”). Someone from the project has to check the edits, make that decision and hit accept or decline.
generally yeah. the problem is that the barrier to entry used to be higher so fewer people knew how to write code to integrate with the project before coding agents. now anyone who can install Claude Code has a seat at that table
