### <a name="issue"></a> Found an Issue or Bug?
If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by submitting an issue to our
[GitHub Repository][github]. Even better, you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.
### <a name="feature"></a> Missing a Feature?
You can request a new feature by submitting an issue to our [GitHub Repository][github-issues].
If you would like to implement a new feature then consider what kind of change it is:
* **Major Changes** that you wish to contribute to the project should be discussed first in an
[GitHub issue][github-issues] that clearly outlines the changes and benefits of the feature.
* **Small Changes** can directly be crafted and submitted to the [GitHub Repository][github]
as a Pull Request. See the section about [Pull Request Submission Guidelines](#submit-pr).
## <a name="submit"></a> Issue Submission Guidelines
Before you submit your issue search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.
If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize
the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues.
The "[new issue][github-new-issue]" form contains a number of prompts that you should fill out to
make it easier to understand and categorize the issue.
## <a name="submit-pr"></a> Pull Request Submission Guidelines
Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:
* Search [GitHub][github-pr] for an open or closed Pull Request
that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
* Create the [development environment][developers.setup]
* Make your changes in a new git branch:
```shell
git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
```
* Create your patch commit, **including appropriate test cases**.
* If the changes affect public APIs, change or add relevant [documentation][doc-repo].
* Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message.
```shell
git commit -a
```
Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
* Push your branch to GitHub:
```shell
git push origin my-fix-branch
```
* In GitHub, send a pull request to `ejabberd:master`. This will trigger the Travis integration and run the test.
We will also notify you if you have not yet signed the [contribution agreement][cla].
* If you find that the Travis integration has failed, look into the logs on Travis to find out
if your changes caused test failures, the commit message was malformed etc. If you find that the
tests failed or times out for unrelated reasons, you can ping a team member so that the build can be
restarted.
* If we suggest changes, then:
* Make the required updates.
* Commit your changes to your branch (e.g. `my-fix-branch`).
* Push the changes to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request).
You can also amend the initial commits and force push them to the branch.
```shell
git rebase master -i
git push origin my-fix-branch -f
```
This is generally easier to follow, but separate commits are useful if the Pull Request contains
iterations that might be interesting to see side-by-side.
That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
