# Contributing to status-go

First of all, thank you for taking time to add more value to Status, we really appreciate it!

## Starter Links
|
|
|

|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Pick an [issue](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues) to work on and drop a line there that you're working on that.
|
|
2. Wait for an approve from one of core contributors.
|
|
3. Fork the project and work right in the `develop` branch.
|
|
4. Work on the issue and file a PR back into `develop`.
|
|
5. Wait until your PR is [reviewed](https://hackmd.io/s/B1AenvFU-) by 2 core developers and merged.
|
|
|
|
## Code Style
|
|
|
|
Please, note that we follow [Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html) and
|
|
[CodeReviewComments](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments) in our code.
|
|
|
|
## Keep history clean
|
|
|
|
1. Squash PR before merging.
|
|
You can do it either with GitHub API by merging with "Squash and merge" or locally if you want to preserve your signature.
|
|
It is ok to merge multiple commits with "Rebase and merge" if they are logically separate.
|
|
|
|
2. Preserve as much history as possible.
|
|
If you need to re-name file use `git mv` - it will preserve git history.
