Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end).

### Before you contribute
|
|
Before we can use your code, you must sign the
|
|
[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1)
|
|
(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
|
|
copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
|
|
codebase. Therefore, we need your permission to use and distribute your code.
|
|
We also need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell
|
|
us if you know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't
|
|
have to sign the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a
|
|
member has approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our
|
|
codebase. Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in
|
|
touch with us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can
|
|
help out and possibly guide you. Coordinating up front avoids frustrations later.
|
|
|
|
### Code reviews
|
|
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. You
|
|
may use a Github pull request to start such a review, but the review itself
|
|
will be conducted using this tool.
|
|
|
|
### The small print
|
|
Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than
|
|
the one above, the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement. |
