14``mc`` welcomes your contribution. To make the process as seamless as possible, we ask for the following:
15
16* Go ahead and fork the project and make your changes. We encourage pull requests to discuss code changes.
17    - Fork it
18    - Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
19    - Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
20    - Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
21    - Create new Pull Request
22
23* If you have additional dependencies for ``mc``, ``mc`` manages its dependencies using `go mod`
24    - Run `go get foo/bar`
25    - Edit your code to import foo/bar
26    - Run `GO111MODULE=on go mod tidy` from top-level folder
27
28* When you're ready to create a pull request, be sure to:
29    - Have test cases for the new code. If you have questions about how to do it, please ask in your pull request.
30    - Run `go fmt`
31    - Squash your commits into a single commit. `git rebase -i`. It's okay to force update your pull request.
32    - Make sure `make install` completes.
33
34* Read [Effective Go](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments) article from Golang project
35    - `mc` project is conformant with Golang style
36    - if you happen to observe offending code, please feel free to send a pull request
