+# Contributing to 9ArmBot
+
+We would love for you to contribute to 9ArmBot and help make it even better than it is
+today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:
+
+ - [Submitting a Pull Request (PR)](#submit-pr)
+
+### <a name="submit-pr"></a> Submitting a Pull Request (PR)
+Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:
+#### Type
+Must be one of the following:
+
+* **docs**: Documentation only changes
+* **feat**: A new feature
+* **fix**: A bug fix
+* **perf**: A code change that improves performance
+* **refactor**: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+* **style**: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
+##
+* Search [GitHub](https://github.com/thananon/twitch_tools/pulls) for an open or closed PR
+  that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
+* Make your changes in a new git branch:
+
+     ```shell
+     git checkout -b fix/my-fix-branch main
+     ```
+* Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our
+  [commit message conventions](#commit).
+
+     ```shell
+     git commit -a
+     ```
+  Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
+
+* Push your branch to GitHub:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push origin fix/my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* In GitHub, send a pull request to `twitch_tools:main`.
+* If we suggest changes then:
+  * Make the required updates.
+  * Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
+
+    ```shell
+    git rebase main -i
+    git push -f
+    ```
+
+That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
+
+#### After your pull request is merged
+
+After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes
+from the main (upstream) repository:
+
+* Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
+
+    ```shell
+    git push origin --delete fix/my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* Check out the main branch:
+
+    ```shell
+    git checkout main -f
+    ```
+
+* Delete the local branch:
+
+    ```shell
+    git branch -D fix/my-fix-branch
+    ```
+
+* Update your main with the latest upstream version:
+
+    ```shell
+    git pull --ff upstream main
+    ```
+
+
+## <a name="commit"></a> Commit Message Guidelines
+
+```
+docs(changedocs): update change README.md
+```
+```
+fix(release): need to depend on latest axios
+```
