# How to contribute #
We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are
a just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
## Contributor License Agreement ##
Contributions to any Google project must be accompanied by a Contributor
License Agreement. This is not a copyright **assignment**, it simply gives
Google permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the
project.
* If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual
CLA][].
* If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA][].
You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted
one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it
again.
[individual CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual
[corporate CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate
Once your CLA is submitted (or if you already submitted one for
another Google project), make a commit adding yourself to the
[AUTHORS][] and [CONTRIBUTORS][] files. This commit can be part
of your first [pull request][].
[AUTHORS]: AUTHORS
[CONTRIBUTORS]: CONTRIBUTORS
## Submitting a patch ##
1. It's generally best to start by opening a new issue describing the bug or
feature you're intending to fix. Even if you think it's relatively minor,
it's helpful to know what people are working on. Mention in the initial
issue that you are planning to work on that bug or feature so that it can
be assigned to you.
1. Follow the normal process of [forking][] the project, and setup a new
branch to work in. It's important that each group of changes be done in
separate branches in order to ensure that a pull request only includes the
commits related to that bug or feature.
1. Do your best to have [well-formed commit messages][] for each change.
This provides consistency throughout the project, and ensures that commit
messages are able to be formatted properly by various git tools.
1. Finally, push the commits to your fork and submit a [pull request][].

# People who have agreed to one of the CLAs and can contribute patches.
# The AUTHORS file lists the copyright holders; this file
# lists people. For example, Google employees are listed here
# but not in AUTHORS, because Google holds the copyright.
#
# Names should be added to this file only after verifying that
# the individual or the individual's organization has agreed to
# the appropriate Contributor License Agreement, found here:
#
# https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual
# https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate
#
# The agreement for individuals can be filled out on the web.
#
# When adding J Random Contributor's name to this file,
# either J's name or J's organization's name should be
# added to the AUTHORS file, depending on whether the
# individual or corporate CLA was used.
#
# Names should be added to this file as:
# Name <email address>
