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],

* work on the Gradle code base
* get help if you encounter trouble

## Before you start

Before starting to work on a feature or a bug fix, please open an issue to discuss the use case or bug with us. This can save everyone a lot of time and frustration.

-   In such situations, we may request you to make further changes to your PR
    for the tests to pass.
-   Once the tests pass, we now bring all the code into the internal code base,
    using a job called "copybara".

**5. Copy to Google Internal codebase and run internal CI**

-   Once the PR is in the Google codebase, we make sure it integrates well with

seeking new committers at this time, but some small contributions are welcome.

If you've found a security problem, please follow our [bug bounty][security] program.

If you've found a bug, please contribute a failing test case so we can study and fix it.

If you have a new feature idea, please build it in an external library. There are
[many libraries][works_with_okhttp] that sit on top or hook in via existing APIs. If you build
