# How to contribute
Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions
under the terms of [COPYING](../COPYING), which is an MIT-like license.
## Opening issues
* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
* [Submit an issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues) - assuming one does not already exist.
* Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
* Include information what version of nixpkgs and Nix are you using (nixos-version or git revision).
## Submitting changes
* Format the commits in the following way:
`(pkg-name | service-name): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)`
Examples:
* nginx: init at 2.0.1
* firefox: 3.0 -> 3.1.1
* hydra service: add bazBaz option
* nginx service: refactor config generation
* `meta.description` should:
* Be capitalized
* Not start with the package name
* Not have a dot at the end
See the nixpkgs manual for more details on how to [Submit changes to nixpkgs](http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/manual/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual#chap-submitting-changes).
