General GitHub Community Guidelines

Be Respectful & Inclusive

Treat everyone with kindness and professionalism.

Avoid discriminatory, offensive, or harassing behavior.

Follow the Code of Conduct

Many repositories include a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md that sets expected behavior.

Contribute Positively

Create meaningful pull requests (PRs).

Don’t spam issues or commits.

Use Clear Communication

Write descriptive commit messages.

Open issues with enough context (steps to reproduce, screenshots, logs if needed).

Respect Licensing

Follow the repository’s license when using or modifying code.

Follow Project-Specific Contribution Guidelines

Repos usually have a CONTRIBUTING.md file with rules like coding style, PR process, and testing.

Collaborate Constructively

Give constructive feedback on PRs/issues.

Acknowledge others’ contributions.

Report Issues Responsibly

Use GitHub Issues to report bugs instead of DMs.

Be detailed and respectful when reporting.

Protect Security & Privacy

Don’t expose sensitive information (API keys, passwords, personal data).

Follow responsible disclosure for security vulnerabilities.

Stay on Topic

Keep discussions relevant to the project.

Avoid unrelated self-promotion or advertising.
