-
-CodeIgniter is a community driven project and accepts contributions of code
-and documentation from the community. These contributions are made in the form
-of Issues or `Pull Requests <https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/>`_ 
-on the `CodeIgniter repository <https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter>`_ on GitHub.
-
-Issues are a quick way to point out a bug. If you find a bug or documentation
-error in CodeIgniter then please check a few things first:
-
-- There is not already an open Issue
-- The issue has already been fixed (check the develop branch, or look for
-  closed Issues)
-- Is it something really obvious that you fix it yourself?
-
-Reporting issues is helpful but an even better approach is to send a Pull
-Request, which is done by "Forking" the main repository and committing to your
-own copy. This will require you to use the version control system called Git.
-
-*******
-Support
-*******
-
-Please note that GitHub is not for general support questions! If you are
-having trouble using a feature of CodeIgniter, ask for help on our
-`forums <http://forum.codeigniter.com/>`_ instead.
-
-If you are not sure whether you are using something correctly or if you
-have found a bug, again - please ask on the forums first.
-
-********
-Security
-********
-
-Did you find a security issue in CodeIgniter?
-
-Please *don't* disclose it publicly, but e-mail us at security@codeigniter.com,
-or report it via our page on `HackerOne <https://hackerone.com/codeigniter>`_.
-
-If you've found a critical vulnerability, we'd be happy to credit you in our
-`ChangeLog <../changelog>`.
-
-****************************
-Tips for a Good Issue Report
-****************************
-
-Use a descriptive subject line (eg parser library chokes on commas) rather than a vague one (eg. your code broke).
-
-Address a single issue in a report.
-
-Identify the CodeIgniter version (eg 3.0-develop) and the component if you know it (eg. parser library)
-
-Explain what you expected to happen, and what did happen.
-Include error messages and stacktrace, if any.
-
-Include short code segments if they help to explain.
-Use a pastebin or dropbox facility to include longer segments of code or screenshots - do not include them in the issue report itself.
-This means setting a reasonable expiry for those, until the issue is resolved or closed.
-
-If you know how to fix the issue, you can do so in your own fork & branch, and submit a pull request.
-The issue report information above should be part of that.
-
-If your issue report can describe the steps to reproduce the problem, that is great.
-If you can include a unit test that reproduces the problem, that is even better, as it gives whoever is fixing
-it a clearer target!
-

-Guidelines
-**********
-
-Before we look into how, here are the guidelines. If your Pull Requests fail
-to pass these guidelines it will be declined and you will need to re-submit
-when you’ve made the changes. This might sound a bit tough, but it is required
-for us to maintain quality of the code-base.
-
-PHP Style
-=========
-
-All code must meet the `Style Guide
-<https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/general/styleguide.html>`_, which is
-essentially the `Allman indent style
-<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Allman_style>`_, underscores and
-readable operators. This makes certain that all code is the same format as the
-existing code and means it will be as readable as possible.
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-If you change anything that requires a change to documentation then you will
-need to add it. New classes, methods, parameters, changing default values, etc
-are all things that will require a change to documentation. The change-log
-must also be updated for every change. Also PHPDoc blocks must be maintained.
-
-Compatibility
-=============
-
-CodeIgniter recommends PHP 5.6 or newer to be used, but it should be
-compatible with PHP 5.3.7 so all code supplied must stick to this
-requirement. If PHP 5.4 (and above) functions or features are used then
-there must be a fallback for PHP 5.3.7.
-
-Branching
-=========
-
-CodeIgniter uses the `Git-Flow
-<http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/>`_ branching model
-which requires all pull requests to be sent to the "develop" branch. This is
-where the next planned version will be developed. The "master" branch will
-always contain the latest stable version and is kept clean so a "hotfix" (e.g:
-an emergency security patch) can be applied to master to create a new version,
-without worrying about other features holding it up. For this reason all
-commits need to be made to "develop" and any sent to "master" will be closed
-automatically. If you have multiple changes to submit, please place all
-changes into their own branch on your fork.
-
-One thing at a time: A pull request should only contain one change. That does
-not mean only one commit, but one change - however many commits it took. The
-reason for this is that if you change X and Y but send a pull request for both
-at the same time, we might really want X but disagree with Y, meaning we
-cannot merge the request. Using the Git-Flow branching model you can create
-new branches for both of these features and send two requests.
-
-Signing
-=======
-You must sign your work, certifying that you either wrote the work or
-otherwise have the right to pass it on to an open source project. git makes
-this trivial as you merely have to use `--signoff` on your commits to your
-CodeIgniter fork.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	git commit --signoff
-
-or simply
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-	git commit -s
-
-This will sign your commits with the information setup in your git config, e.g.
-
-	Signed-off-by: John Q Public <john.public@example.com>
-
-If you are using Tower there is a "Sign-Off" checkbox in the commit window. You
-could even alias git commit to use the -s flag so you don’t have to think about
-it.
-
-By signing your work in this manner, you certify to a "Developer's Certificate
-of Origin". The current version of this certificate is in the :doc:`/DCO` file
-in the root of this documentation.
