# Contributing
We welcome contributions from everyone. However, please follow the following guidelines when posting a GitHub Pull
Request or filing a GitHub Issue on the systemd project:
## Filing Issues
* We use GitHub Issues **exclusively** for tracking **bugs** and **feature** **requests** of systemd. If you are
looking for help, please contact our [mailing list](http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel)
instead.
* We only track bugs in the **two** **most** **recently** **released** **versions** of systemd in the GitHub Issue
tracker. If you are using an older version of systemd, please contact your distribution's bug tracker instead.
* When filing an issue, specify the **systemd** **version** you are experiencing the issue with. Also, indicate which
**distribution** you are using.
* Please include an explanation how to reproduce the issue you are pointing out.
Following these guidelines makes it easier for us to process your issue, and ensures we won't close your issue
right-away for being misfiled.
## Posting Pull Requests
* Make sure to post PRs only relative to a very recent git master.
* Follow our [Coding Style](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/systemd/systemd/master/CODING_STYLE) when contributing
code. This is a requirement for all code we merge.
* Make sure to run "make check" locally, before posting your PR. We use a CI system, meaning we don't even look at your
PR, if the build and tests don't pass.
* If you need to update the code in an existing PR, please consider opening a new PR (mentioning in it which old PR it
replaces) and closing the old PR. This is much preferable over force-pushing a new patch set into the PR's branch, as
commit comments aren't lost that way. That said, we don't follow this rule ourselves quite often, hence this is
really just a say as we say, not say as we do...
## Final Words
We'd like to apologize in advance if we are not able to process and reply to your issue or PR right-away. We have a lot
of work to do, but we are trying our best!
Thank you very much for your contributions!
