Trigger loves Python! We're looking for help to make the project even easier to use and more accessible, and trying to fix some long-standing usability issues.

Beginners are welcome, especially if you're interested in learning more about network automation. Much of the work isn't very advanced, and may provide a good opportunity for you to get your hands dirty in a fun library with fun people!

We're primarily focusing on the following areas:

• Executing commands on network devices
• Managing authentication and credentials
• Cleaning up and improving the documentation
• Improving unit tests coverage across the entire project
• Implementing for interacting with network hardware

In other words, there's no shortage of things to do!

Here is a list of the top-priority things we're looking to work on!
