own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual
    CLA][]. Please include your GitHub username.
  - If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
    then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA][].

You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted
one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it
again.

## Setting up your development environment

In order to make changes to Gradle, you'll need:

* A [Java Development Kit](http://jdk.java.net/) (JDK) **version 11**. Fixed version is required to use [remote cache](#remote-build-cache). 
* A text editor or IDE. We use and recommend [IntelliJ IDEA CE](http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/).  IntelliJ Ultimate will also work. You'll need IntelliJ 2021.2.2 or newer.

======================

You have found a bug or you 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.

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

  * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA](https://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html).
  * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA](https://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html).

### Setup your MinIO GitHub Repository

Fork [MinIO upstream](https://github.com/minio/minio/fork) source repository to your own personal repository. Copy the URL of your MinIO fork (you will need it for the `git clone` command below).

```sh
git clone https://github.com/minio/minio
go install -v
ls /go/bin/minio
```

### Set up git remote as ``upstream``

```sh
$ cd minio
