| # How to contribute |
| |
| We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. There are just a few small guidelines you need to follow. |
| |
| ## Propose ideas and get feedback |
| |
| To help us respect your time as a contributor and maximize the chances of your work landing in the repository, please reach out early by [creating a GitHub Issue](https://github.com/google/safeside/issues/new) to talk about the additions or improvements you want to make. |
| |
| You can also take a look at our [roadmap](README.md#roadmap) to see what improvements we're most eager to see, and our [explicit non-goals](README.md#non-goals) for examples of contributions we will not accept. |
| |
| Some questions or feedback might not make sense as GitHub issues. For those, we've created a public [`safeside-discuss` group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/safeside-discuss). |
| |
| ## Code reviews |
| |
| All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult [GitHub Help](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/) for more information on using pull requests. |
| |
| ### Contributor License Agreement |
| |
| Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License Agreement. You (or your employer) retain the copyright to your contribution; this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the project. Head over to <https://cla.developers.google.com/> to see your current agreements on file or to sign a new one. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| ## Code style |
| |
| We use C++11 with [Google's C++ style guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html). Please run `clang-format` on your code before sending a pull request. |
| |
| ### Source code headers |
| |
| Every file containing source code must include a copyright and license header: |

| |
| Licensed under both the 3-Clause BSD License and the GPLv2, found in the |
| LICENSE and LICENSE.GPL-2.0 files, respectively, in the root directory. |
