## Getting vouched (required before opening a PR)

We use [vouch](https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch) to manage contributor trust. **PRs from unvouched users are automatically closed.**

Before you open your first pull request, you need to be vouched by a maintainer. Here's how:

1. Open a [Vouch Request](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/issues/new?template=vouch-request.yml) issue.
2. Tell us what you'd like to work on and share any relevant background.
3. A maintainer will review your request and vouch for you by commenting on the issue.
4. Once vouched, your PRs will be accepted normally.
