Hi,

I tried to push the attached patch to https://invent.kde.org/websites/kate-editor-org , but it told me that I'm not allowed to:
"remote: You are not allowed to push code to this project."

Can you commit/push it, or give me access ?

Thanks
Alex

### How to help with Kate development

If you want to help us develop Kate, KWrite or KatePart, you should <a title="Kate/KWrite mailing list" href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kwrite-devel" target="_blank">join our mailing list</a>. Contacting us at <a title="Kate IRC Channel" href="irc://irc.libera.chat/kate" target="_blank">#kate on irc.libera.chat</a> is also a good idea, we are always happy to help you get started.

### How to Build Kate

Kate can easily be build on a current Linux distribution, we provide a [tutorial about building Kate and the needed dependencies](/build-it/) for this.
For other operating systems, the [same page](/build-it/) page provides extra links with information.

### Contributing code

For contributions, the best way to hand them in is via our GitLab instance [invent.kde.org](https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate).

How to set it up and use it is documented in the [invent.kde.org documentation](https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/GitLab).
Just open a new [merge request](https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/merge_requests) there for Kate.
For more details about this, refer to [this blog post](/post/2020/2020-07-18-contributing-via-gitlab-merge-requests/).

If you want to get an overview about already accepted patches to get a feel how the process works, take a look at our [merge requests](/merge-requests/) page.
Visiting some of these accepted requests might help to have a better grasp of project's workings.

### Areas of work

The main work area is the programming, but if you are not a programmer you can help in many other areas:

  * Write and maintain documentation.
  * Write and maintain syntax highlight files.
  * Write and maintain scripts.
  * Maintain bug reports.
  * Provide us with useful feedback.
  * Help us by helping <a href="http://www.kde.org" target="_blank">KDE</a>. As a part of KDE, Kate benefits from the KDE as a whole, apart from the excellent integration provided by KDE the help from the <a href="http://i18n.kde.org" target="_blank">KDE translation team</a> is invaluable.

### C/C++ Coding Standards

The code in our repositories shall follow the style described for <a href="https://community.kde.org/Policies/Frameworks_Coding_Style" target="_blank">KDE Frameworks</a>.

The CMake tooling we use will setup appropriate pre-commit hooks to ensure this style using **clang-format**.

### Documenting your code

We use Doxygen syntax to document code, and it&#8217;s nice to document everything, even private code, since other people than you might get to work on it or just try to understand it.

For comments inside of functions, C++ single-line comments are preferred over
multi-line C comments.

### Good starting points

You can take a look at our current list of issues, perhaps you are interested in taking care of one.
