# Contribute adapters

> Contribute adapters to Itential's open source library.

Most Itential adapters are open source. Information on how to contribute — including requesting new adapters, submitting changes to existing ones, and reporting bugs — is available in the [Itential open-source adapters contributing guide](https://gitlab.com/itentialopensource/adapters/contributing-guide) on GitLab.

## Contributing to adapter utils

The Adapter Utils library is open source and accepts contributions. Because the utils are used by most adapters, all modifications go through review and regression testing before being accepted.

If you find a bug in Adapter Utils, create a ticket (ISD, IPSO, or ADAPT). You can work the fix yourself or let the Itential Adapter Team handle it.

## Contributing generic adapter changes back upstream

When you make generic improvements to an adapter — changes that are not specific to your environment — contributing them back to the upstream repository is encouraged. This ensures that when the Adapter Team releases future updates, you can adopt the new version with minimal or no conflicts.
