Contributing
============
All kinds contributions to Dotbot are greatly appreciated. For someone
unfamiliar with the code base, the most efficient way to contribute is usually
to submit a [feature request](#feature-requests) or [bug report](#bug-reports).
If you want to dive into the source code, you can submit a [patch](#patches) as
well.
Feature Requests

Do you have an idea for an awesome new feature for Dotbot? Please [submit a
feature request][issue]. It's great to hear about new ideas.
If you are inclined to do so, you're welcome to [fork][fork] Dotbot, work on
implementing the feature yourself, and submit a patch. In this case, it's
*highly recommended* that you first [open an issue][issue] describing your
enhancement to get early feedback on the new feature that you are implementing.
This will help avoid wasted efforts and ensure that your work is incorporated
into the code base.

appreciated!
When you [submit a bug report][issue], please include relevant information such
as Dotbot version, operating system, configuration file, error messages, and
steps to reproduce the bug. The more details you can include, the easier it is
to find and fix the bug.
