+# How to contribute
+
+## Please note:
+
+* (Optional) We adopt [Git Flow](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow). Most feature branches are pushed to the repository and deleted when merged to *develop* branch.
+* (**Important**): Submit pull requests to the *develop* branch or *feature/* branches
+* Use *GitHub Issues* for feature requests and bug reports. Include as much information as possible while reporting bugs.  
+
+
+## Contributing (Step-by-step)
+
+1. [Fork the repo](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo) and clone it to your local computer, and set up the upstream remote:
+
+        git clone https://github.com/YourGithubUsername/gocdm.git
+        cd gocdm
+        git remote add upstream https://github.com/E-Health/gocdm.git
+
+2. Checkout out a new local branch based on your master and update it to the latest (TRUNK-123 is the branch name, You can name it whatever you want. Try to give it a meaningful name. If you are fixing an issue, please include the issue #).
+
+        git checkout -b BRANCH-123 develop
+        git clean -df
+        git pull --rebase upstream develop
+
+ > Please keep your code clean. If you find another bug, you want to fix while being in a new branch, please fix it in a separated branch instead.
+
+3. Push the branch to your fork. Treat it as a backup.
+
+        git push origin BRANCH-123
+
+4. Code
+
+  * Adhere to common conventions you see in the existing code.
+  * Include tests as much as possible, and ensure they pass.
+
+5. Commit to your branch

+         git commit -m "BRANCH-123: Put change summary here (can be a ticket title)"

+
+6. Update your branch to the latest code.
+
+        git pull --rebase upstream develop
+
+7. **Important** If you have made many commits, please squash them into atomic units of work. (Most Git GUIs such as sourcetree and smartgit offer a squash option)
+
+       
+        git checkout develop
+        git pull --rebase upstream develop
+        git merge --squash BRANCH-123
