+# Contributing to HURDAT
+
+This outlines how to propose a change to HURDAT. For more detailed
+info about contributing to this, and other tidyverse packages, please see the
+[**development contributing guide**](https://rstd.io/tidy-contrib).
+
+### Fixing typos
+
+Small typos or grammatical errors in documentation may be edited directly using
+the GitHub web interface, so long as the changes are made in the _source_ file.
+
+*  YES: you edit a roxygen comment in a `.R` file below `R/`.
+*  NO: you edit an `.Rd` file below `man/`.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you make a substantial pull request, you should always file an issue and
+make sure someone from the team agrees that it’s a problem. If you’ve found a
+bug, create an associated issue and illustrate the bug with a minimal 
+[reprex](https://www.tidyverse.org/help/#reprex).
+
+### Pull request process
+
+*  We recommend that you create a Git branch for each pull request (PR).  
+*  Look at the Travis and AppVeyor build status before and after making changes.
+The `README` should contain badges for any continuous integration services used
+by the package.  
+*  New code should follow the tidyverse [style guide](https://style.tidyverse.org).
+You can use the [styler](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=styler) package to
+apply these styles, but please don't restyle code that has nothing to do with 
+your PR.  
+*  We use [roxygen2](https://cran.r-project.org/package=roxygen2), with
+[Markdown syntax](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/roxygen2/vignettes/markdown.html), 
+for documentation.  
+*  We use [testthat](https://cran.r-project.org/package=testthat). Contributions
+with test cases included are easier to accept.  
+*  For user-facing changes, add a bullet to the top of `NEWS.md` below the
+current development version header describing the changes made followed by your
+GitHub username, and links to relevant issue(s)/PR(s).
+
+### Code of Conduct
+
+Please note that the HURDAT project is released with a
+[Contributor Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By contributing to this
+project you agree to abide by its terms.
+
+### See tidyverse [development contributing guide](https://rstd.io/tidy-contrib)
+for further details.
