+## How to contribute to diff2html
+
+### Main rules
+
+* Before you open a ticket or send a pull request, [search](https://github.com/rtfpessoa/diff2html/issues) for previous discussions about the same feature or issue. Add to the earlier ticket if you find one.
+
+* If you're proposing a new feature, make sure you create an issue to let other contributors know what you are working on.
+
+* Before sending a pull request make sure your code is tested.
+
+* Before sending a pull request for a feature, be sure to run tests with `npm test`.
+
+* Use the same coding style as the rest of the codebase, most of the check can be performed with `npm run style`.
+
+* Use `git rebase` (not `git merge`) to sync your work from time to time with the master branch.
+
+* After creating your pull request make sure the build is passing on [CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/rtfpessoa/diff2html)
+and that [Codacy](https://www.codacy.com/app/Codacy/diff2html) is also confident in the code quality.
+
+* In your pull request, do not commit the `dist` or `build` folder if you needed to build the release files.
+
+### Commit Style
+
+Writing good commit logs is important. A commit log should describe what changed and why.
+Follow these guidelines when writing one:
+
+1. The first line should be 50 characters or less and contain a short
+   description of the change prefixed with the name of the changed
+   subsystem (e.g. "net: add localAddress and localPort to Socket").
+2. Keep the second line blank.
+3. Wrap all other lines at 72 columns.
+
+A good commit log can look something like this:
+
+```
+subsystem: explaining the commit in one line
+
+Body of commit message is a few lines of text, explaining things
+in more detail, possibly giving some background about the issue
+being fixed, etc. etc.
+
+The body of the commit message can be several paragraphs, and
+please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about
+72 characters or so. That way `git log` will show things
+nicely even when it is indented.
+```
+
+### Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.0

+
+* (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
+  have the right to submit it under the open source license indicated

+  same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a
+  different license), as indicated in the file; or
+* (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
+  person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified it.
