Have you found a bug or have an idea for a cool new feature? Contributing
code is a great way to give something back to the open source community. Before
you dig right into the code, there are a few guidelines that we need
contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of
things.

Getting Started
---------------

+ Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup).
+ If you're planning to implement a new feature, please discuss your changes
on the [developer mailing list][ml-list] first.
This way you can make sure you're not wasting your time on something that isn't
considered to be in Apache Maven's scope.
+ Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+ Clearly describe the issue, including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+ Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
+ Fork the repository on GitHub.

Making and Submitting Changes
--------------

We accept Pull Requests via GitHub. The [developer mailing list][ml-list] is the
main channel of communication for contributors.
There are some guidelines which will make applying PRs easier for us:
+ Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (this is usually the master branch).
Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+ Make commits of logical units.
+ Respect the original code style: by using the same [codestyle][code-style],
patches should only highlight the actual difference, not being disturbed by any formatting issues:
+ Only use spaces for indentation.
+ Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports.
If you feel the source code should be reformatted, create a separate PR for this change.
+ Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
+ Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format. Your commit message should contain the key of the issue.
```
[#issue-numebr] - Subject of the issue
Optional supplemental description.
```
+ Update the [site documentation](https://maven.apache.org/pom/asf/) accordingly in `docs/src/site` and build it via `mvn site -f docs`
+ Submit a pull request to the repository in the Apache organization.

If you plan to contribute on a regular basis, please consider filing a [contributor license agreement][cla].

Making Trivial Changes
----------------------

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, or other simple changes
it is not always necessary to create a new issue.
In this case, it is appropriate to skip the issue from a commit message.
