# MinIO Pull Request Guidelines

These guidelines ensure high-quality commits in MinIO’s GitHub repositories, maintaining 
a clear, valuable commit history for our open-source projects. They apply to all contributors, 
fostering efficient reviews and robust code.

## Why Pull Requests?

Pull Requests (PRs) drive quality in MinIO’s codebase by:
- Enabling peer review without pair programming.
- Documenting changes for future reference.

- **MinIO creates erasure-coding sets of _2_ to _16_ drives per set.  The number of drives you provide in total must be a multiple of one of those numbers.**
- **MinIO chooses the largest EC set size which divides into the total number of drives or total number of nodes given - making sure to keep the uniform distribution i.e each node participates equal number of drives per set**.
