By default accounts do not have rights to create personal repositories and therefore fork existing projects. This guide outlines how to enable personal repositories in order to contribute to projects hosted on gitlab.arm.com.
## Terms of Service
Thank you for your interest in participating in Arm Limited's ("Arm") GitLab instance. The following Terms of Service govern your participation in this GitLab instance, and by following this process you agree to abide by these Terms of Service.

You are responsible for the content in your personal repositories, and you agree to comply with any licenses applicable to such projects.

## Requesting Access
In order to contribute to a project, it is necessary to fork the project repository. The ability to fork a project repository is disabled by default, so we ask that an issue is raised [here](https://gitlab.arm.com/documentation/contributions/-/issues). This is a one time activity. By raising the issue you are agreeing to all the terms of service mentioned above.
An admin will then process this request and advise once complete. At this point you will then be able to fork the relevant projects and contribute. For project specfic contribution models, please refer to the project's own contributions guide.
The project limit for individual user is set to 10. When you hit the project limit, raise the issue [here](https://gitlab.arm.com/documentation/contributions/-/issues) to increase the limit.
