We love to have contributions from you! There are several ways to contribute such as filing issues, joining in design conversations,
documentation, contributing to code. To keep this process smooth, there are a few guidelines mentioned below for contributors to follow.
PowerShell team will be happy to explain the guidelines via Github Issue if you have questions.

and the guidance like verifying and closing issues
Contributing to Issue
----
- Review the [Github Issue Management process](../docs/dev-process/issue-management-process.md). It covers our triage process and the definition of Label, Assignee and the guidance like verifying and closing issues
- Check if the issue you are going to file already exists in [GitHub Issue query](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues)
- Submit an issue, assuming it does not exist yet, via [GitHub Issue track](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues) by following the [Issue template] (issue-template.md).

- TODO: Don will fill in the details
##Contributing to Code##
Contributing to Code
----
- [Pick something to work on] (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues)
- If what you want to work on does not exist in the query, create an issue for your work
- Get agreement from the PowerShell team and the community regarding your proposed change via the [Issue Triage Process](dev-process/issue-management-process.md).
- If you will be adding a new cmdlet or other design changes, follow [Making Design Changes guidelines]("Making Design Changes")
- For breaking changes, see [Make Breaking Changes guidelines]("Making Breaking Changes")
- The issue filer and the implementer don't have to be the same person. So clearly state when you create an issue that you will be the implementer, so the issue can be assigned to you
- Create a [personal fork of the repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) or a [branch](https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/) to start your work
- Follow the [coding guidelines] (coding-guidelines/coding-guidelines.md)
- Ensure pass the [checkin tests] (testing-requirements/test-guidelines.md) for code changes
- Create a [GitHub pull request (PR)] (https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/)) against the upstream repository
- Perform a [code review] (dev-precess/code-review-guidelines.md) with the PowerShell Committee (TODO) on the pull request.

##Making Breaking Changes##
Making Breaking Changes
----
When you make code changes, please pay attention to these that can affect the [Public Contract](dev-process/breaking-change-contract.md),
for example, PowerShell parameter, API or protocols changes. Before starting making changes to the code, first review the [Breaking Changes guidelines] (dev-process/breaking-change-contract.md)

and follow the guidelines to keep PowerShell backward compatible.
##Making Design Changes##
To add new features such as cmdlets or making design changes, please follow the [PowerShell Request for Comments (RFC)](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC) process.

Common Engineering Practices

Other than the guidelines ([coding](../docs/coding-guidelines/coding-guidelines.md), [RFC process](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC) for design, [documentation]()
and [testing](../docs/testing-requirements/test-guidelines.md)) discussed above, following are common engineering practices we would like everyone to follow:
- Do not commit code changes to the master branch! You should [fork or checkout a branch](#Contributing-to-Code)
- Format commit messages as follows based on [the Tim Pope's guidelines]("http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html"):

You can find [here]() for the PowerShell sources license and copyright information.
##Contributor License Agreement##
You must sign a PowerShell Contribution License Agreement (CLA) before your Pull Request will be merged.
This a one-time requirement for the PowerShell project. Signing the CLA process is simple and can be done in less than a minute.

You can read more about [Contribution License Agreements (CLA)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement) on wikipedia.
You don't have to do this up-front. You can simply clone, fork, and submit your pull-request as usual. When your pull-request is created, it is classified by a CLA bot. If the change is trivial (e.g. you just fixed a typo), then the PR is labelled with cla-not-required. Otherwise it's classified as cla-required. Once you signed a CLA, the current and all future pull-requests will be labelled as cla-signed.
