+# Contributing
+We love pull requests from everyone. Any contribution is valuable!
+
+If you have some time and are interested in working on some issues please have a look at the list of issues and browse the ones labelled good-first-issues. Feel free to propose your own issues as well!
+
+## Making a change
+
+Make your changes to the codebase. We recommend using TDD. Add a test, make changes and get the test suite back to green.
+
+Once the tests are passing you can commit your changes.
+
+    git add .
+    git commit -m "Add a concise commit message describing your change here"
+
+Push your changes to a branch on your fork:
+
+    git push origin branch-name-here
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+
+Use the GitHub UI to submit a new pull request against upstream/master. 
+
+Please ensure that you:
+* Write tests
+* Make sure the whole test suite is passing
+* Keep your PR small, with a single focus
+* Maintain a clean commit history
+* Use a style consistent with the rest of the codebase
+* Before submitting, rebase on the current master branch
