+## Getting Started
+
+Contributions are made to this repo via Issues and Pull Requests on github (PRs).
+
+### Issues
+
+Issues should be used to report problems with the library, request a new feature, or to discuss potential changes before a PR is created.
+
+If you find an Issue that addresses the problem you're having, please add your own reproduction information to the existing issue rather than creating a new one. Adding a [reaction](https://github.blog/2016-03-10-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments/) can also help be indicating to our maintainers that a particular problem is affecting more than just the reporter.
+
+### Pull Requests
+
+PRs to our libraries are always welcome and can be a quick way to get your fix or improvement slated for the next release.
+
+In general, we follow the ["fork-and-pull" Git workflow](https://github.com/susam/gitpr)
+
+1. Fork the repository to your own Github account
+2. Clone the project to your machine
+3. Create a branch locally with a succinct but descriptive name
+4. Commit changes to the branch
+5. Following any formatting and testing guidelines specific to this repo
+6. Push changes to your fork
+7. Open a PR in our repository and follow the PR template so that we can efficiently review the changes.
