+# Welcome to the Free Code Camp Wiki!
+
+Our open source community's Wiki focuses on answering your questions about learning to code and getting a coding job. We also cover in detail our:
+
+- Curriculum
+- Local Campsite Communities
+- Nonprofit Projects
+
+## Get a Fork ready
+
+You can get your own fork by using the button or clicking [this](https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/wiki/new/master?readme=1#fork-destination-box).
+Once you get a fork, you will clone it with `git clone url` where `url` is the link to your fork.
+
+Once that is done, you can start contributing by checking our [issues](https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/wiki/issues) and creating nee pull requests.
+
+## Contribution Guides
+
+We currently have a couple of guides to help you contribute, via the browser, command line or desktop application.
+
+- [How To Contribute From Your Browser:](Wiki-Contribute-Online) This is currently the easiest way we have to contribute. A simplified version can be found on [here](https://medium.freecodecamp.com/how-to-land-your-first-open-source-contribution-from-your-browser-in-15-minutes-756d9bbf81ad) also.
+- [How To Contribute To The Wiki Locally:](Wiki-Contribute-Local-GUI) This is a guide that will show you how to have a local copy so you can make changes from your computer, it also works for contributing to the main repository.
+- [Pull Request Guidelines](PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE)
+- [More on how to make a pull request from a fork](Pull-Request-Contribute)
+- [How to Squash Commits:](git-rebase#squashing-multiple-commits-into-one) We required only one commit per Pull Request unless otherwise specified by a moderator.
+
+you can find this and much more guides and information on the [Wiki Central Page](https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/wiki/Wiki).
