Contributing File in your Python Open Source Package#

What a CONTRIBUTING.md file should contain#

Example contributing files

Your Python open source package should include a file called CONTRIBUTING.md located in the root of your repository (with your README.md file).

The contributing file should include information about the types of contributions that you welcome, and how you’d like to see contributions happen.

This guide should also include information for someone interested in asking questions, submitting issues or pull requests. It should have things like:

  • Any guidelines that you have in place for users submitting issues, pull requests or asking questions.

  • A link to your code of conduct

  • A link to licensing information found in your README file.

  • A link to a development guide if you have one
