+# Contribution Guidelines
+
+PEG.js is an open source project and it welcomes contributions. To make sure
+your contributions are useful and the overall process is smooth, please adhere
+to these guidelines.
+
+You can contribute in three main ways: by reporting bugs, requesting features,
+and contributing code.
+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+You can report bugs using [GitHub issues][issues]. Before submitting a bug
+report, [search the existing reports][issues-search-bugs] to see if the bug
+wasn’t reported already.
+
+Each bug report should contain this information:
+
+  * Steps to reproduce
+  * What you expected to happened
+  * What happened instead
+
+In most cases, it is useful to include a **minimal** example (grammar + input)
+reproducing the problem.
+
+## Requesting Features
+
+You can request features using [GitHub issues][issues]. Before submitting a
+feature request, [search the existing requests][issues-search-enhancements] to
+see if the feature wasn’t requested already.
+
+Each feature request should contain this information:
+
+  * Feature description
+  * Why do you request it
+
+## Contributing Code
+
+You can contribute code using [GitHub pull requests][pulls]. However, for
+anything but trivial changes, file an issue first. Your idea may not fit the
+project, or the implementation you have in mind may not be the right one. Filing
+an issue in these cases will prevent wasting time and effort on both sides.
+
+Split your change into atomic commits with descriptive commit messages adhering
+to [these conventions][git-commit-messages]. Have a look in the commit history
+to see good examples.
+
+When appropriate, add documentation and tests.
+
+Before submitting, make sure your change passes the specs (`make spec`) and
+ESLint checks (`make lint`).
