# 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.

# Generate CONTRIBUTORS.md: contributors.sh

# Tip for finding duplicates (besides scanning the output of CONTRIBUTORS.md for name
# duplicates that aren't also email duplicates): scan the output of:
#   git log --format='%aE - %aN' | sort -uf
#
# For explanation on this file format: man git-shortlog
