| # Contributing to Go | |
| Go is an open source project. | |
| It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help! | |
| ## Before filing an issue | |
| If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing | |
| list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If | |
| the behavior you are seeing is confirmed as a bug or issue, it can easily be re-raised in the issue tracker. | |
| ## Filing issues | |
| Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to [security@golang.org](mailto:security@golang.org). | |
| See the [security policy](https://golang.org/security) for details. | |
| The recommended way to file an issue is by running `go bug`. | |
| Otherwise, when filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions: | |
| 1. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)? | |
| 2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using? | |
| 3. What did you do? | |
| 4. What did you expect to see? | |
| 5. What did you see instead? | |
| For change proposals, see [Proposing Changes To Go](https://go.dev/s/proposal-process). | |
