*Before opening a new issue or submitting a new pull request, it's helpful to
search the project - it's likely that another user has already reported the
issue you're facing, or it's a known issue that we're already aware of.
## How to Contribute
Pull Requests (PRs) are the main and exclusive way to contribute to the official go-git project.
In order for a PR to be accepted it needs to pass a list of requirements:
- You should be able to run the same query using `git`. We don't accept features that are not implemented in the official git implementation.
- The expected behavior must match the [official git implementation](https://github.com/git/git).
- The actual behavior must be correctly explained with natural language and providing a minimum working example in Go that reproduces it.
- All PRs must be written in idiomatic Go, formatted according to [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/), and without any warnings from [go lint](https://github.com/golang/lint) nor [go vet](https://golang.org/cmd/vet/).
- They should in general include tests, and those shall pass.
- If the PR is a bug fix, it has to include a suite of unit tests for the new functionality.
- If the PR is a new feature, it has to come with a suite of unit tests, that tests the new functionality.
