# Contribute to GitLab
|
||||
|
||||
## Recipes
|
||||
If you have a question or want to contribute to GitLab this guide show you the appropriate channel to use.
|
||||
|
||||
We collect user submitted installation scripts and config file templates for platforms we don't support officially.
|
||||
We believe there is merit in allowing a certain amount of diversity.
|
||||
You can get and submit your solution to running/configuring GitLab with your favorite OS/distro, database, web server, cloud hoster, configuration management tool, etc.
|
||||
## Ruling out common errors
|
||||
|
||||
Help us improve the collection of [GitLab Recipes](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/)
|
||||
Some errors are common and it may so happen, that you are not the only one who stumbled over a particular issue. We have [collected several of those and documented quick solutions](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-public-wiki/wiki/Trouble-Shooting-Guide) for them.

||||
