+# Contributing
+
+Thanks for showing interest in contributing to [CAN-go]!
+
+## Suggesting Features
+
+Before creating a PR, please consider that [CAN-go] is a tool that Einride uses
+internally and as such, features that are not aligned with how we are using CAN
+will probably not be accepted. In that case feel free to fork our project and
+make the changes you want there instead.
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+If you find a bug, please create an
+[issue](https://github.com/einride/can-go/issues) for it, or create a PR
+following the [Pull Request Guidelines](#pull-request-guidelines).
+
+## Development
+
+To start developing on [CAN-go] it is enough to clone the repo and run `make`.
+
+## Pull Request Guidelines
+
+[CAN-go] is using the
+[Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) commit message
+convention.
+
+Keep your commits as small as possible, but still keep all changes related to a
+logical change in the same commit. When receiving review feedback, fix up the
+commits with the changes addressing the feedback and force-push, please don't
+send fix commits.
+
+Before opening a PR, please make sure you get no errors when running `make` and
+that there is sufficient test coverage for added or changed functionality.
