# Contributing to CodeQL docs
We welcome contributions to our CodeQL docs. Want to improve existing docs or add new information you think would be helpful? Then please go ahead and open a pull request!
**Note**: We have recently copied the CodeQL CLI documentation on [codeql.github.com](https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-cli/) to the public [github/docs](https://github.com/github/docs) repository so that they appear on the [GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning) site. This includes all articles under "[Using the CodeQL CLI](https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-cli/using-the-codeql-cli/)" and "[CodeQL CLI reference](https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-cli/codeql-cli-reference/)" categories. To contribute to these docs, which are located in the [`code-security`](https://github.com/github/docs/tree/main/content/code-security/code-scanning) directory, please refer to the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) file in the `docs` repository.
## Contributing to docs on `codeql.github.com`
To make changes to the remaining documentation on [codeql.github.com](https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-cli/), you can make changes to the documentation files using the GitHub UI, a codespace, or making changes locally, and then open a pull request for review. For more information about the format and structure of the CodeQL documentation on [codeql.github.com](https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-cli/), please see the [README](https://github.com/github/codeql/tree/main/docs/codeql#readme).
