## Overview
RabbitMQ projects use pull requests to discuss, collaborate on and accept code contributions.
Pull requests is the primary place of discussing code changes.
## How to Contribute
The process is fairly standard:
* Fork the repository or repositories you plan on contributing to
* Clone [RabbitMQ umbrella repository ](https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-public-umbrella )
* `cd umbrella` , `make co`
* Create a branch with a descriptive name in the relevant repositories

* Make your changes, run tests, commit with a [descriptive message ](https://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html ), push to your fork

* Submit pull requests with an explanation what has been changed and **why**
