# Development

We use go modules to manage third-party libraries for Vikunja, so you'll need at least go `1.11` to use these.

To contribute to Vikunja, fork the project and work on the main branch.

A lot of developing tasks are automated using a Magefile, so make sure to [take a look at it]({{< ref "mage.md">}}).

Make sure to check the other doc articles for specific development tasks like [testing]({{< ref "test.md">}}), 
[database migrations]({{< ref "db-migrations.md" >}}) and the [project structure]({{< ref "structure.md" >}}).
