### Contribution Guides

[](#contribution-guides)

For most of time, Medoo is using develop branch for adding feature and fixing bug, and the branch will be merged into master branch while releasing a public version. For contribution, submit your code to the develop branch, and start a pull request into it.

On develop branch, each commits are started with `[fix]`, `[feature]` or `[update]` tag to indicate the change.

Keep it simple and keep it clear.
