+# Contributing 
+
+Thank you for looking to contributed to Kompute. We welcome contributions of any type including:
+
+- Reporting a bug
+- Adding tests
+- Submitting a fix
+- Proposing new features
+
+## We Develop with Github
+
+We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.
+
+## We Use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests
+
+Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html)). We actively welcome your pull requests:
+
+1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `master`.
+2. Add tests to maintain and/or increase code coverage.
+3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
+4. Ensure the test suite passes.
+5. Make sure your code lints.
+6. Issue that pull request!
