# Contributing to Neovim
## Thank you
Thanks for considering contributing to neovim. To make the process as smooth
as possible we would ask you to follow the guidelines below.
## Help with contributing
See [Communicating](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Communicating).
Raise documentation issues.
## Guidelines
### Finding something to do
Neovim uses [waffle.io](https://waffle.io/neovim/neovim), so check there
first.
You can also ask for an issues to be assigned to you.
Ideally wait until we assign it to you to minimize
work duplication.
### Reporting an issue
- Search existing issues before raising a new one.
- Include as much detail as possible. In particular, we need to know which
OS you're using.
### Pull requests
- Make it clear in the issue tracker what you are working on, so that
someone else doesn't duplicate the work.
- Use a feature branch, not master.
- Rebase your feature branch onto origin/master before raising the PR.
- Keep up to date with changes in master so your PR is easy to merge.
- Be descriptive in your PR message: what is it for, why is it needed, etc.
- Make sure the tests pass (TODO: we need to make this easier with travis etc.)
- Squash related commits as much as possible.
### Coding style
- Try to match the existing indent style. (TODO: specify)
- Don't abuse the pre-processor.
- Don't mix platform-specific stuff into the main code.
- TODO: commit messages?
