How to Help
===========
Requests is under active development, and contributions are more than welcome!
#. Check for open issues or open a fresh issue to start a discussion around a bug.
There is a Contributor Friendly tag for issues that should be ideal for people who are not very
familiar with the codebase yet.
#. Fork `the repository <https://github.com/requests/requests>`_ on GitHub and start making your
changes to a new branch.
#. Write a test which shows that the bug was fixed.
#. Send a pull request and bug the maintainer until it gets merged and published. :)
Make sure to add yourself to `AUTHORS <https://github.com/requests/requests/blob/master/AUTHORS.rst>`_.
