# Contributing
## Issues
* Request features and report bugs using the [GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues).
* Please indicate the platform you are using fsnotify on.
* A code example to reproduce the problem is appreciated.
## Pull Requests
### Contributor License Agreement
fsnotify is derived from code in the [golang.org/x/exp](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp) package and it may be included [in the standard library](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/issues/1) in the future. Therefore fsnotify carries the same [LICENSE](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify/blob/master/LICENSE) as Go. Contributors retain their copyright, so you need to fill out a short form before we can accept your contribution: [Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
Please indicate that you have signed the CLA in your pull request.
### How fsnotify is Developed
* Development is done on feature branches.
* Tests are run on BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows.
* Pull requests are reviewed and [applied to master][am] using [hub][].
* Maintainers may modify or squash commits rather than asking contributors to.
* To issue a new release, the maintainers will:
* Update the CHANGELOG
* Tag a version, which will become available through gopkg.in.
### How to Fork
For smooth sailing, always use the original import path. Installing with `go get` makes this easy.
1. Install from GitHub (`go get -u github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify`)
2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
3. Ensure everything works and the tests pass (see below)
4. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`)
Contribute upstream:
1. Fork fsnotify on GitHub
2. Add your remote (`git remote add fork git@github.com:mycompany/repo.git`)
3. Push to the branch (`git push fork my-new-feature`)
4. Create a new Pull Request on GitHub
This workflow is [thoroughly explained by Katrina Owen](https://splice.com/blog/contributing-open-source-git-repositories-go/).
### Testing
fsnotify uses build tags to compile different code on Linux, BSD, macOS, and Windows.
Before doing a pull request, please do your best to test your changes on multiple platforms, and list which platforms you were able/unable to test on.
### Maintainers
Help maintaining fsnotify is welcome. To be a maintainer:
* Submit a pull request and sign the CLA as above.
* You must be able to run the test suite on Mac, Windows, Linux and BSD.
All code changes should be internal pull requests.
Releases are tagged using [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
