    CONTRIBUTING.md: You can reduce the amount of confusion and friction that potential contributors (and you) face by clearly defining why and how others can contribute new code, documentation, art, or other elements to your project. If the contribution steps are very simple, you might just include them in your README; but, if you find it takes more than a paragraph or two (and it usually does), it’s best to create this separate file. It should include information about the types of contributions you’re looking for, how to propose a new feature or bug fix, the process for submitting pull requests, and any specific coding standards or style guidelines contributors should follow. For a good example, take a look at the contributor guide from GitHub’s docs project.
