+Contribute to the Code Base
+===
+
+Before you submit a Pull Request, consider the following guidelines.
+
+* Search <a href="https://github.com/Icenium/icenium-cli/pulls">GitHub</a> for an open or closed Pull Request that relates to your submission.
+* Make your changes in a new `git` branch. We use the <a href="http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/">Gitflow branching model</a> so you will have to branch from our develop branch.
+```bash
+    git checkout -b my-fix-branch develop
+```
+* Create your patch and include appropriate test cases.
+* Commit your changes and create a descriptive commit message (the commit message is used to generate release notes).
+```bash
+    git commit -a
+```
+* Build your changes locally.
+```bash
+    grunt
+```
+* Ensure all the tests pass.
+```bash
+    grunt test
+```
+* Push your branch to GitHub.
+```bash
+    git push origin my-fix-branch
+```
+* In GitHub, send a Pull Request to icenium-cli:develop.
+* If we suggest changes, you can modify your branch, rebase, and force a new push to your GitHub repository to update the Pull Request.
+```bash
+    git rebase develop -i
+    git push -f
+```
+
+That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
+
+When the patch is reviewed and merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes from the main (upstream) repository.
+
+* Delete the remote branch on GitHub.
+```bash
+    git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
+```
+* Check out the develop branch.
+```bash
+    git checkout develop -f
+```
+* Delete the local branch.
+```bash
+    git branch -D my-fix-branch
+```
+* Update your develop branch with the latest upstream version.
+```
+    git pull --ff upstream develop
+```
