# Contributing
## Issues
Report issues and suggest features and improvements on the [GitHub
issue tracker](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/issues). Don't ask
questions on the issue tracker - use the [support
channels](support.md) instead.
If you want to file a bug, please provide all the necessary info
listed in our issue reporting template (it's loaded automatically when
you create a new GitHub issue).
## Patches
Patches in any form are always welcome! GitHub pull requests are even
better! :-)
Before submitting a patch or a pull request make sure that your patch
is in line with the [contribution
guidelines](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Documentation
Good documentation is just as important as good code. Please,
consider improving and extending this manual.
### Working on the Manual
The manual is generated from the markdown files in the
[docs](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/tree/master/docs) folder of
Prelude's GitHub repo and is published to [Read the
Docs](https://readthedocs.org). The [MkDocs](http://www.mkdocs.org/)
tool is used to convert the markdown sources to HTML.
To make changes to the manual you simply have to change the files
under `docs`. The manual will be regenerated automatically when changes
to those files are merged in `master` (or the latest stable branch).
You can install `MkDocs` locally and use the command `mkdocs serve` to
see the result of changes you make to the manual locally:
```sh
$ cd path/to/prelude/repo
$ mkdocs serve
```
If you want to make changes to the manual's page structure you'll have to edit
[mkdocs.yml](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/blob/master/mkdocs.yml).
