# :rotating_light: Contributing to Atom :rotating_light:
## Issues
* Include screenshots and animated GIFs whenever possible, they are immensely
helpful.
* Include the behavior you expected to happen and other places you've seen
that behavior such as Emacs, vi, Xcode, etc.
* Check the Console app for stack traces to include if reporting a crash.
* Check the Dev tools (`alt-cmd-i`) for errors and stack traces to include.
## Pull Requests
* Include screenshots and animated GIFs whenever possible.
* Follow the [JavaScript](https://github.com/styleguide/javascript) and
[CSS](https://github.com/styleguide/css) styleguides
* Include thoughtfully worded [Jasmine](http://pivotal.github.com/jasmine/)
specs
* Avoid placing files in `vendor`. 3rd-party packages should be added as a
`package.json` dependency.
* Commit messages are in the present tense
* Files end with a newline.
* Requires should be in the following order:
* Node Modules
* Built in Atom and Atom Shell modules
* Local Modules (using relative links)
* Class variables and methods should be in the following order:
* Class methods (methods starting with a `@`)
* Instance methods
* Beware of platform differences
* Use `require('atom').fs.getHomeDirectory()` to get the home directory.
* Use `path.join()` to concatenate filenames.
* Temporary directory is not `/tmp` on Windows, use `os.tmpdir()` when
possible
