Thank you for considering making contributions to Cosmos-SDK and related
repositories!
repositories!
Contributing to this repo can mean many things such as participated in
discussion or proposing code changes. To ensure a smooth workflow for all
contributors, the general procedure for contributing has been established:
1. either [open](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/new/choose) or
[find](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues) an issue you'd like to help with,
2. participate in thoughtful discussion on that issue,

5. include `WIP:` in the PR-title to and submit your PR early, even if it's
incomplete, this indicates to the community you're working on something and
allows them to provide comments early in the development process. When the code
is complete it can be marked as ready-for-review by replacing `WIP:` with
`R4R:` in the PR-title.

## Pull Requests
To accommodate review process we suggest that PRs are categorically broken up.
To accommodate review process we suggest that PRs are categorically broken up.
Ideally each PR addresses only a single issue. Additionally, as much as possible
code refactoring and cleanup should be submitted as a separate PRs from bugfixes/feature-additions.
code refactoring and cleanup should be submitted as a separate PRs from bugfixes/feature-additions.
### Process for reviewing PRs
All PRs require two Reviews before merge (except docs changes, or variable name-changes which only require one). When reviewing PRs please use the following review explanations:
- `LGTM` without an explicit approval means that the changes look good, but you haven't pulled down the code, run tests locally and thoroughly reviewed it.
- `Approval` through the GH UI means that you understand the code, documentation/spec is updated in the right places, you have pulled down and tested the code locally. In addition:
- You must also think through anything which ought to be included but is not
- You must think through whether any added code could be partially combined (DRYed) with existing code
- You must think through any potential security issues or incentive-compatibility flaws introduced by the changes
- Naming must be consistent with conventions and the rest of the codebase
- Code must live in a reasonable location, considering dependency structures (e.g. not importing testing modules in production code, or including example code modules in production code).
- if you approve of the PR, you are responsible for fixing any of the issues mentioned here and more
- If you sat down with the PR submitter and did a pairing review please note that in the `Approval`, or your PR comments.
- If you are only making "surface level" reviews, submit any notes as `Comments` without adding a review.
### Updating Documentation
If you open a PR on the Cosmos SDK, it is mandatory to update the relevant documentation in /docs.
* If your change relates to the core SDK (baseapp, store, ...), please update the docs/gaia folder, the docs/examples folder and possibly the docs/spec folder.
* If your changes relate specifically to the gaia application (not including modules), please modify the docs/gaia folder.
* If your changes relate to a module, please update the module's spec in docs/spec. If the module is used by gaia and/or basecoin, you might also need to modify docs/gaia and/or docs/examples.
* If your changes relate to the core of the CLI or Light-client (not specifically to module's CLI/Rest), please modify the docs/clients folder.

### Updating the Documentation
Please read the `Updating Documentation` section in [`CONTRIBUTING.md` document](../CONTRIBUTING.MD#updating-documentation) before making any changes.
