If you wish to contribute:

1. Fork the repository on GitHub.
2. Create a branch for your changes.
   • Lazarus likes to make changes to files when you open them or move something around, so make sure you only stage the changes that are required for what you are trying to accomplish.
3. Push your branch to your personal fork.
4. Go to the original Cheat Engine repository and create a pull request:
   • Click on compare across forks and select your fork as the head fork and your new branch.
