+# Contributing to wlroots
+
+Contributing just involves sending a pull request. You will probably be more
+successful with your contribution if you visit the [IRC
+channel](http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sway&uio=d4) upfront and discuss
+your plans.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+If you already have your own pull request habits, feel free to use them. If you
+don't, however, allow me to make a suggestion: feature branches pulled from
+upstream. Try this:
+
+1. Fork sway
+2. Clone your fork
+3. git remote add upstream https://github.com/SirCmpwn/wlroots
+
+You only need to do this once. You're never going to use your fork's master
+branch. Instead, when you start working on a feature, do this:
+
+1. git fetch upstream
+2. git checkout -b add-so-and-so-feature upstream/master
+3. work
+4. git push -u origin add-so-and-so-feature
+5. Make pull request from your feature branch
+
+## Commit Messages
+
+Please strive to write good commit messages. Here's some guidelines to follow:
+
+The first line should be limited to 50 characters and should be a sentence that
+completes the thought [When applied, this commit will...] "Implement cmd_move"
+or "Fix #742" or "Improve performance of arrange_windows on ARM" or similar.
+
+The subsequent lines should be seperated from the subject line by a single
+blank line, and include optional details. In this you can give justification
+for the change, [reference Github
+issues](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/),
+or explain some of the subtler details of your patch. This is important because
+when someone finds a line of code they don't understand later, they can use the
+`git blame` command to find out what the author was thinking when they wrote
+it. It's also easier to review your pull requests if they're seperated into
+logical commits that have good commit messages and justify themselves in the
+extended commit description.
+
+As a good rule of thumb, anything you might put into the pull request
+description on Github is probably fair game for going into the extended commit
+message as well.
+
+## Coding Style
+
+wlroots is written in C with the same style as Sway. The style guidelines is
+[kernel
+style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst), but
+all braces go on the same line (*"but K&R says so!" is a silly way of justifying
+something*). Some points to note:
+
+* Do not use typedefs unless you have a good reason
+* Do not use macros unless you have a *really* good reason
+* Align `case` with `switch`
+* Tabs, not spaces
+* `char *pointer` - note position of `*`
+* Use logging with reckless abandon
+* Always include braces for if/for/while/etc, even for one-liners
+
+An example of well formatted code:
+
+```C
+#include <stdio.h>
+#include <stdlib.h>
+#include "log.h"
+#include "example.h"
