Before reporting +an issue, please take a look at the +[bug reporting information](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/blob/master/doc/reporting-steamlinuxruntime-bugs.md) +to make sure your issue report contains all the information we need. + +The issue tracker on our Gitlab installation, `gitlab.steamos.cloud`, is +primarily used by steam-runtime-tools developers to track issues for +which we already know the technical details of what is happening. + +## Contributing code + +At the moment our Gitlab installation, `gitlab.steamos.cloud`, is not +set up to receive merge requests from third-party contributors. However, +git is a distributed version control system, so it is possible to push a +clone of the steam-runtime-tools git repository to some other git hosting +platform (such as Github or `gitlab.com`) and send a link to a proposed +branch via an issue report. + +If you want to contribute code to steam-runtime-tools, please include a +`Signed-off-by` message in your commits to indicate acceptance of the +[Developer's Certificate of Origin](https://developercertificate.org/) +terms. ## Doing test-builds
