#### Merging pull requests ####

Due to Guava's nature as a subset of Google's internal codebase which is
automatically synced to the public GitHub repository, we are unable to merge
pull requests directly into the master branch. Instead, once a pull request is
ready for merging, we'll make the appropriate changes in the internal codebase
and, when the change is synced out, give the pull request author credit for the
commit.

For any non-trivial change, we need to be able to answer these questions:

* Why is this change done? What's the use case?
* For user facing features, what will the API look like?
* What test cases should it have? What could go wrong?
* How will it roughly be implemented? We'll happily provide code pointers to save you time.

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.

Getting Started

    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
    its dependencies and the rest of the system.
-   Rarely, If the tests fail at this stage, we cannot merge the code.
-   If needed, we may come to you to make some changes. At times, it may not be

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

Keeping the project small and stable limits our ability to accept new contributors. We are not
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

``MinIO`` community welcomes your contribution. To make the process as seamless as possible, we recommend you read this contribution guide.

## 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

# Contributing to Go

Go is an open source project.

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

## Before filing an issue

If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If
