## How to contribute to Underscore.js

* This project adheres to a [code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

* Before you open a ticket or send a pull request, [search](https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/issues) for previous discussions about the same feature or issue. Add to the earlier ticket if you find one.

* If you're proposing a new feature, make sure it isn't already implemented in [Underscore-Contrib](https://github.com/documentcloud/underscore-contrib).

* When contributing code, make sure that you edit the source code in the `modules/` directory. Also, run `npm install` before committing any changes to ensure that our commit hooks can do their work.

* Before sending a pull request for a feature, be sure to have [tests](https://underscorejs.org/test/).

* Use the same coding style as the rest of the [codebase](https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/blob/master/modules/index.js).

* In your pull request, do not add documentation or re-build the minified `underscore-min.js` file. We'll do those things before cutting a new release.
