#### Text Editor
If you are not a developer and wish to contribute themes, new languages, or quotes, having a text editor will make contributions _much_ easier. To make complex edits without installing anything, we recommend using GitHub's VS Code web editor. In your fork of Monkeytype(fork it first), go the to `Code` tab of the repo and press <kbd>.</kbd>. This will open up the repo in a VS Code instance you can use to edit files in the browser. Once you are done making your changes, go the to Source Control tab in the activity bar with <kbd>Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + G</kbd>, click the `+` next to the files you've changed to stage them,type a brief message detailing what you changed in the commit, and press <kbd>Ctrl/Cmd + Enter</kbd> to commit your changes to your fork(send a pull request to the Monkeytype repository when you are ready).

#### Git
Git is optional but we _highly_ recommend you use it. Monkeytype uses the Git source control management system for its version control. Assuming you don't have experience typing commands in the command line, we suggest installing [Sourcetree](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/). You will be able to utilize the power of Git without needing to remember any cryptic commands. However using a Git client won't give you access to the full functionality of Git but provides an easy to understand graphical user interface (GUI). Once you have downloaded Sourcetree, run the installer. While installing Sourcetree, keep your eyes peeled for the option to also install Git with Sourcetree. This is the option you will need to look for in order to install Git. **Make sure to click yes in the installer to install Git with Sourcetree.**
