## Sending pull requests
### Sending pull requests

Pull requests can be submitted to <https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/pulls>.

It is highly suggested to add [tests](../../dev/testing/) for every non-trivial pull requests.
A test can be implemented as a unit test rather than an integration test when it is possible,
to avoid slowing the integration test CI.

## Merging pull requests
