 - File feature requests for new functionality that you want to see in lazygit. I have a lot of ideas for future improvement myself, but I have also implemented a lot of feature ideas that weren't mine, and I'm grateful for those ideas. (Of course, there are also lots of feature requests that I don't implement, so don't be disappointed if I don't jump on yours.)
 - Help make other people's bug reports reproducible. Sometimes people report bugs that they have only seen once, and in such a case it can be helpful to come up with reproducible scenarios.
 - Help complete or improve the translation into other languages; join https://crowdin.com/project/lazygit for that.
+- Run a master build! This is probably the most valuable way to help me. Test the latest master not just by occasionally trying it, but by actually using it for your daily work; report any issues that you find. This will help prevent having to release hotfix updates for regressions that are only noticed by users updating to a new release.
 
 Importantly, if you file issues (whether bug reports or feature requests), stay around to answer questions and discuss your issue. There are few things that I find more annoying than spending time on responding to someone's issue (sometimes even making a PR that addresses it), and to then never hear from the OP again. So please set up your Github notifications so that you see when there's activity on your issue, and continue to participate.
