| # Contributing to Go | |
| Go is an open source project. | |
| It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help! | |
| ## Contributing code | |
| Please read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html) | |
| before sending patches. | |
| Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under | |
| the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. | |
| ### Contributing to gopls | |
| This repository has a multi-module structure: the root module | |
| (`golang.org/x/tools`) and the `gopls` module | |
| (`golang.org/x/tools/gopls`). | |
| If you are contributing to `gopls`, please see the specific [gopls | |
| contribution guide](gopls/doc/contributing.md) for detailed instructions on | |
| workspace setup, building, testing, and debugging. | |
| ## Filing issues | |
| When [filing an issue](https://golang.org/issue/new), 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? | |
| General questions should go to the [golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead of the issue tracker. | |
| The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug. | |
