the contributing file so that people are aware of it. This hopefully
means that contributors will follow some of the rules.

+# Contributing to geckodriver
+
+The geckodriver project welcomes contributions from everyone. There are a
+number of ways you can help:
+
+## Issue Reports
+
+When opening new issues or commenting on existing issues please make
+sure discussions are related to concrete technical issues with the
+geckodriver or Marionette software.
+
+For issue reports to be actionable, it must be clear exactly what the
+observed and expected behaviours are, and how to set up the state required
+to observe the erroneous behaviour. The most useful thing to provide is a
+minimal HTML file which allows the problem to be reproduced, plus a
+trace-level log from geckodriver showing the wire-protocol calls used to set
+up the problem. Please provide [concise reproducible test
+cases](http://sscce.org/) and describe what results you are seeing and what
+results you expect. Because of the wide variety of client bindings for
+WebDriver, clients scripts and logs are typically not very useful if the
+verbose geckodriver logs are available. Issues relating to a specific client
+should be filed in the issue tracker of that project.
+
+## Code Contributions
+
+If you're looking for easy bugs, have a look at
+[issues labelled E-easy](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aeasy+)
+on Github.
+
+This document will guide you through the contribution process.
+
+### Step 1: Fork
+
+Fork the project [on Github](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver)
+and check out your copy locally.
+
+```text
+% git clone [email protected]:username/geckodriver.git
+% cd geckodriver
+% git remote add upstream git://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver.git
+```
+
+### Step 2: Branch
+
+Create a feature branch and start hacking:
+
+```text
+% git checkout -b my-feature-branch
+```
+
+We practice HEAD-based development, which means all changes are applied
+directly on top of master.
+
+### Step 3: Commit
+
+First make sure git knows your name and email address:
+
+```text
+% git config --global user.name 'Santa Claus'
+% git config --global user.email '[email protected]'
+```
+
+The first line must be meaningful as it's what people see when they
+run `git shortlog` or `git log --oneline`.
+
+### Step 4: Rebase
+
+Use `git rebase` (not `git merge`) to sync your work from time to time.
+
+```text
+% git fetch upstream
+% git rebase upstream/master
+```
+
+### Step 5: Push
+
+```text
+% git push my-feature-branch
+```
+
+Go to https://github.com/yourusername/geckodriver and press the _Pull
+Request_ and fill out the form.
+
+Pull requests are usually reviewed within a few days. Reviews will be done
+through [Reviewable](https://reviewable.io/reviews/mozilla/geckodriver)
+
+### Step 6: Integration
+
+When code review is complete, a committer will take your PR and
+integrate it on geckodriver's master branch. Because we like to keep a
+linear history on the master branch, we will normally squash and rebase
+your branch history.
+
