- # Contributing
-
- We'd love to accept your code patches! However, before we can take them, we
- have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.
-
- ## Contributor License Agreements
-
- Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License
- Agreement as appropriate.
-
- * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
- own the intellectual property, then sign an [individual CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual).
- * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
- then sign a [corporate CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate).
-
- Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and
- instructions for how to sign and return it.
-
- ## Submitting a Patch
-
- 1. Sign the contributors license agreement above.
- 2. Decide which code you want to submit. A submission should be a set of changes
- that addresses one issue in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/google/leveldb/issues).
- Please don't mix more than one logical change per submission, because it makes
- the history hard to follow. If you want to make a change
- (e.g. add a sample or feature) that doesn't have a corresponding issue in the
- issue tracker, please create one.
- 3. **Submitting**: When you are ready to submit, send us a Pull Request. Be
- sure to include the issue number you fixed and the name you used to sign
- the CLA.
-
- ## Writing Code ##
-
- If your contribution contains code, please make sure that it follows
- [the style guide](http://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html).
- Otherwise we will have to ask you to make changes, and that's no fun for anyone.
