Fork the project. Make your feature addition or bug fix. Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally. Commit, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull) Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
