3### Before you contribute
4Before we can use your code, you must sign the
5[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
6(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
7copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
8codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
9need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
10know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
11the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
12approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
13Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
14us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and
15possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid
16frustration later on.

18### Code reviews

20use Github pull requests for this purpose.
