spacemacs/CONTRIBUTING.md

Spacemacs is a volunteer effort. We encourage you to pitch in. The community makes Spacemacs what it is. We have a few guidelines, which we ask all contributors to follow.

• If you want to ask a usage question, be sure to read our documentation, as it may hold the answer. You should also reference the README.org of the relevant layer(s). If your question is not answered there, then feel free to ask on our gitter chat.
• If you want to submit a Pull Request (PR), please read our contribution guidelines before submitting. Also, make sure that your PR is against the develop branch, not master which should not be modified.
• If you are opening an issue, consider seeing if the bug has been fixed on develop, and that you are up to date by doing git pull --rebase. If it is not fixed, please include the output of SPC h d s in your bug report. This will include the following: OS, Emacs version, Spacemacs version, Spacemacs branch(master or develop), as well as current HEAD revision, distribution (spacemacs or spacemacs-base), and what layers you are using. This will help us to help you better.

Thanks! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
