Here is a basic outline on opening issues and making PRs:

Opening Issues

Search for your problem in the issues section before opening a new ticket. It might be already answered and save both you and us time. 😄
Provide as much information as possible when opening your ticket, including any relevant examples (if any).
If your issue is a bug, make sure you pass --log-level=DEBUG when invoking spotdl.py and paste the output in your issue.
If you think your question is naive or something and you can't find anything related, don't feel bad. Open an issue any way!

Look up for open issues and see if you can help out there.
Easy issues for newcomers are usually labelled as good-first-issue.
When making a PR, point it to the master branch unless mentioned otherwise.
All tests are placed in the test directory. We use pytest to run the test suite: $ python3 -m pytest test. If you don't have pytest, you can install it with $ pip3 install pytest.
If you are planning to work on something big, let us know through an issue. So we can discuss more about it.
Lastly, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! Let us know (through an issue) if you are facing any trouble making a PR, we'd be glad to help you out!

There's also a web-based front-end to operate this tool, which under (major) construction called spotifube. Check it out if you'd like to contribute to it!
