How to contribute
=================

Thank you so much for wanting to contribute to Guava! Here are a few important
things you should know about contributing:

1.  API changes require discussion, use cases, etc. Code comes later.
2.  Pull requests are great for small fixes for bugs, documentation, etc.
3.  Pull requests are not merged directly into the master branch.
4.  Code contributions require signing a Google CLA.

API changes
-----------

Perhaps, you forgot to add an `@Incubating` annotation or `@since` in the javadoc.

2. Accept the changes.\
If you are sure that the changes are intentional, follow the steps described in the report.
This includes adding the description of the changes to the `accepted-public-api-changes.json` file, and providing a reason for each change.
You can add the changes to any place in the file, e.g. at the top.

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.

Some of the ideas are documented in the [Maven Wiki][maven-wiki]
which might be interesting to read and for further discussion.

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

  sufficient description, if applicable unit tests are added, if it is a
  reasonable contribution (meaning it is not a single liner cosmetic PR).

**2. Valid?**

-   If the PR passes all the quality checks then we go ahead and assign a
    reviewer.
-   If the PR didn't meet the validation criteria, we request for additional
    changes to be made to PR to pass quality checks and send it back or on a
    rare occasion we may reject it.

**3. Review**

- Get working code on a personal branch with tests before you submit a PR.
- OkHttp is a small and light dependency.  Don't introduce new dependencies or major new functionality.

It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

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

## Development Workflow

Start by forking the MinIO GitHub repository, make changes in a branch and then send a pull request. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes. Here are the steps in details:
