## Pull Request Guidelines
`Spacemacs` uses the `git-flow` model, so you'll have to submit your
contributions and fixes within a pull-request to apply against the `develop`
branch.
_PR = pull request_
**Guidelines:**
- branch from `develop` only
- one topic per PR
- one commit per PR
- if you have several commits on different topics, close the PR and create
one PR per topic
- if you still have several commits, squash them into only one commit
- rebase your PR branch on top of upstream `develop` before submitting the PR
**Getting Help:**
If you have any question on this process, join the [gitter chatroom][gitter]
and ask your questions there. Do not hesitate to ask your questions even the
simplest one, it will be a pleasure to help you to contribute!
## Submitting a contribution layer upstream
It is recommended to join a `README.md` file with your layer, ideally this file
should document the packages of your layer as well as the key bindings
associated with them.
To submit your contribution layer follow the above
[guidelines](#pull-request-guidelines) for pull requests.
**Note:** by submitting a configuration layer you become the maintainer of it.
