| 13 | + |

| 15 | + |
| 16 | +When filing an issue, please check [existing open](https://github.com/aws/aws-encryption-sdk-java/issues), or [recently closed](https://github.com/aws/aws-encryption-sdk-java/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aclosed%20), issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already |
| 17 | +reported the issue. Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like these are incredibly useful: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +* A reproducible test case or series of steps |
| 20 | +* The version of our code being used |

| 25 | +## Contributing via Pull Requests |
| 26 | +Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that: |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +1. You are working against the latest source on the *master* branch. |
| 29 | +2. You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already. |
| 30 | +3. You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your time to be wasted. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +To send us a pull request, please: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +1. Fork the repository. |
| 35 | +2. Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change. |
| 36 | +3. Ensure local tests pass. |
| 37 | +4. Commit to your fork using clear commit messages. |
| 38 | +5. Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface. |
| 39 | +6. Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +GitHub provides additional document on [forking a repository](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and |
| 42 | +[creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/). |

| 45 | +## Finding contributions to work on |
| 46 | +Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any ['help wanted'](https://github.com/aws/aws-encryption-sdk-java/labels/help%20wanted) issues is a great place to start. |
