Contribute to UX design
UX Design
These instructions are specifically for those wanting to make UX design contributions to GitLab.
The UX department at GitLab uses Figma for all of its designs, and you can see our Design Repository documentation for details on working with our files.
You may leverage the Pajamas UI Kit in Figma to create mockups for your proposals. However, we will also gladly accept handmade drawings and sketches, wireframes, manipulated DOM screenshots, or prototypes. You can find design resources documentation in our Design System. Use it to understand where and when to use common design solutions.
Contributing to Pajamas
To contribute to Pajamas design system and the UI kit, follow the contribution guidelines documented in the handbook. While the instructions are code-focused, they will help you understand the overall process of contributing.
