### Code Contribution Do's & Don'ts:
Keeping the following in mind gives your contribution the best chance of landing! Keeping the following in mind gives your contribution the best chance of landing!
#### <u>Merge Requests</u> #### Merge Requests
* **Do** start by [forking] the project.
* **Do** create a [feature branch] to work on instead of working directly on `main`. This helps to:
* Protect the process.
* Ensures users are aware of commits on the branch being considered for merge.
* Allows for a location for more commits to be offered without mingling with other contributor changes.
* Allows contributors to make progress while a MR is still being reviewed.
* **Do** follow the [50/72 rule] for Git commit messages.
* **Do** target your merge request to the **main branch**.
* **Do** specify a descriptive title to make searching for your merge request easier.
* **Do** list [verification steps] so your code is testable.
* **Do** reference associated issues in your merge request description.
* **Don't** leave your merge request description blank.
* **Don't** abandon your merge request. Being responsive helps us land your code faster.
* **Don't** submit unfinished code.
