## Pre-pre requisite

- A working knowledge of MinIO codebase and its various components.
- A working knowledge of AWS S3 API behaviors and corner cases.

## Pre-requisite for backporting any fixes

Fixes that are allowed a backport must satisfy any of the following criteria's:

## 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:

### Setup your MinIO GitHub Repository
