+# Guidelines for Contributing to Webi
+
+**Before you start**:
+
+- It's a good idea to try [Webi](https://webinstall.dev/) out for installing
+  developer tools for yourself before creating an installer.
+- It's also best if you take on issues for tools that you're familiar with.
+
+**Before you PR**:
+
+- You'll be asked to make changes if you don't code formatters and linters:
+  - Node / JavaScript:
+    - [prettier](https://webinstall.dev/prettier)
+    - [jshint](https://webinstall.dev/jshint)
+  - Bash
+    - [shfmt](https://webinstall.dev/shfmt)
+    - [shellcheck](https://webinstall.dev/shellcheck)
+- If you use vim, [vim-essentials](https://webinstall.dev/vim-essentials)
+  includes everything you need to automatically format and lint on save.
+- If you use VS Code, the same plugins are also available in the VS Code store.
+
+**Not strictly mandatory, but we appreciate**:
+
+- [x] [Signed Commits](/git-config-gpg)
+- [x] Semantic Commit Messages
+- [x] Update `test` psuedo-package
+
+## Signed Commits
+
+Please **enable gpg-signing**.
+
+You can do this **in about 30 seconds**:
+
+1. Run [`git-config-gpg`](https://webinstall.dev/git-config-gpg) from Webi:
+   ```bash
+   # On Mac & Linux
+   curl https://webinstall.dev/git-config-gpg | bash
+   ```
+2. Copy the GPG public key (it will be printed to your screen)
+3. Add it to your GitHub profile: <https://github.com/settings/gpg/new>
+
+## Semantic Commit Messages
+
+We try to follow "semantic commits" to some degree. Especially since this is a
+project with many sub-projects.
+
+The general format is `<type>(<package>): <description>`, using these _types_:
+
+| _type_   | _usage_                                                            |
+| :------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| feat     | new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script       |
+| fix      | bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script                  |
+| docs     | changes to the documentation                                       |
+| style    | formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change    |
+| refactor | refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable               |
+| test     | adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change |
+| chore    | updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change                |
+
+Try to write your commit messages (in the present tense) like this:
+
+```txt
+fix(node): update install.sh (fix #200)
+```
+
+```txt
+feat(delta): add cheat sheet and install.sh
+```
+
+```txt
+docs(ssh-adduser): document that foo does bar
+```
+
+See <https://gist.github.com/joshbuchea/6f47e86d2510bce28f8e7f42ae84c716> for
+some more examples.
+
+## Also update the `test` installer (a 3-line change)
+
+Whenever adding a new installer, please also update `test/install.sh`
+
+- `rm -rf ~/.local/opt/YOUR_PACKAGE`
+- `rm -f ~/.local/bin/YOUR_PACKAGE`
+- `webi YOUR_PACKAGE`
+- (and please keep it in alphabetical order)
+
+See
+<https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/pull/346/files#diff-db3af85ef45ed7ac0d1d9c473cf4d858657c127dc24d931fe18a9961f17e05b1>
+for an example.
