# How can I help rusEfi?
The weakest point of rusEfi is documentation. If you've played with rusEfi for any time chances are you have help improve the documentation.
#### How to contribute to https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation
Step 1: Sign up or sign in to https://github.com
Step 2: Open https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation and click 'Fork' - this would produce your own fork/copy of rusefi_documentation which you can now edit right in your browser!

Step 3: Edit your code and Commit changes using the button below the editor.
Step 4: Once you are ready to contribute your changes, hit 'New pull request' button on the main page of your fork.
This would produce a [Pull request like this](https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation/pull/3) in the official rusefi repository and your changes would probably soon become public!
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/master/firmware/tunerstudio/rusefi.input
#### How to contribute to rusEfi TunerStudio project
Same as above, fork https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi and edit your local copy of
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/master/firmware/tunerstudio/rusefi.input file
https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/commit/9d9ae5a05499027b32ed76df3e7ee2e2e8240c31 is an example of how more help could be added
right into TunerStudio project file. Lines with green background are the lines being added.
Unfortunately while you would be modifying your mainController.ini file while trying your changes, you need to edit rusefi.input file which
is a template from which rusefi.ini is generated programmatically on rusefi side.
#### Last but not least
Since 2012 until today, this is just a hobby project with zero paid employees. Test PCBs, forum hosting,
damaged hardware and etc. costs money
There are two ways to help financially:
One-time or monthly https://tinyurl.com/paypal-rusefi
One-time or monthly [rusEfi Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/rusefi)
