Contributing

Thank you for contributing to our project! Here are the steps and guidelines to follow when creating a pull request (PR).

Prometheus uses GitHub to manage reviews of pull requests.

• If you have a trivial fix or improvement, go ahead and create a pull request, addressing (with @...) the maintainer of this repository (see MAINTAINERS.md) in the description of the pull request.

• If you plan to do something more involved, first discuss your ideas on our mailing list. This will avoid unnecessary work and surely give you and us a good deal of inspiration.

• Relevant coding style guidelines are the Go Code Review Comments and the Formatting and style section of Peter Bourgon's Go: Best Practices for Production Environments.

• Be sure to sign off on the DCO
