When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possible. Have a look at the issue template for ideas.
Note: If you find a Closed issue that seems like it is the same thing that you're experiencing, open a new issue and include a link to the original issue in the body of your new one.
You are welcome to submit ideas for new features and enhancements, just include as many details as possible, including potential implementation options.
See Development Environment Guide for details on setting up a local development environment.
Code contributions are very welcome. However, please understand that by opening a pull requests you hand over copyright ownership of that work to the Unmanic project and the project owner.

All pull requests must be opened to merge into the staging branch. No pull requests will be merged into the master branch.
