# Contributing [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/dereuromark/cakephp-tools?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) ## Getting Started * Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free) * Fork the repository on GitHub. ## Making Changes I am looking forward to your contributions. There are several ways to help out: * Write missing testcases * Write patches for bugs/features, preferably with testcases included There are a few guidelines that I need contributors to follow: * Coding standards (`./sniff` to check and `./sniff -f` to fix) * Passing tests (you can enable travis to assert your changes pass) for Windows and Unix (`php phpunit.phar`) # Additional Resources * [Coding standards guide (extending/overwriting the CakePHP ones)](https://github.com/php-fig-rectified/fig-rectified-standards/) * [CakePHP coding standards](http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/contributing/cakephp-coding-conventions.html) * [General GitHub documentation](http://help.github.com/) * [GitHub pull request documentation](http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/)
