What You'll Need

A GitHub account (it's free to sign up at github.com)
IR files you want to contribute
Information about the device your IR files are for (brand, model, type)

Step-by-Step Guide

Go to the Flipper-IRDB Repository
Visit the Flipper-IRDB GitHub repository.
Fork the Repository
Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner. This creates your own copy of the repository.
Navigate to the Correct Folder
In your forked repository, navigate to the folder where your IR files should go. The structure is: Devices/[Device Type]/[Brand Name]/

For example, if you have files for a Sony TV, you'd go to Devices/TVs/Sony/
Upload Your Files
Click the "Add file" button, then "Upload files". Drag and drop your IR files or use the file selector.
Commit Your Changes
Scroll down, add a brief description of your files (e.g., "Add Sony KD-55X85J TV remote files"), and click "Commit changes".
Create a Pull Request
After committing, you'll see a message that your branch is ahead of the original. Click "Contribute" and then "Open pull request".
Submit Your Pull Request
Add any additional information about your files in the description, then click "Create pull request".

Important Tips

Make sure your IR files are named clearly (e.g., "power.ir", "volume_up.ir")
Test your files with your Flipper Zero before uploading
If you're adding files for a new device, create a new folder with the device name
Use format.flippertools.net to format your IR files correctly before submitting
Be patient! The maintainers will review your submission as soon as they can

What Happens Next?

The Flipper-IRDB team will review your pull request. They might ask for some changes or additional information. Once everything looks good, they'll approve and merge your files into the main repository. Congratulations, you've just contributed to the Flipper Zero community!
