# How to contribute

Pull requests!

## Getting Started

* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
* Fork the repository on GitHub

## Making Changes

* Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
  * This is always the master branch.
  * e.g. `git checkout -b my_fix` 
  * Please avoid working directly on the `master` branch.
* Make commits of logical units.
* Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
* Reasonably describe your commits in your commit message.
* Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
* Run _all_ the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
  * `npm test`

## Submitting Changes

* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  * `git push origin my_fix`
* Submit a pull request
