+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
+
+- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people.
+- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
+- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback.
+- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience.
+- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community.
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind.
+- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks.
+- Public or private harassment.
+- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission.
+- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at <[email protected]>. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org), version 2.1, available at <https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct.html>.
+
+Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by
+[Mozilla's code of conduct enforcement ladder](https://github.com/mozilla/inclusion).
+
+For answers to common questions about this code of conduct, see the FAQ at <https://www.contributor-covenant.org/faq>. Translations are available at <https://www.contributor-covenant.org/translations>.

+# Contributing Guidelines
+
+The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to this project. We really appreciate that you are considering contributing!
+
+#### Table of Contents
+
+- [Getting Started](#getting-started)
+- [Contributing](#contributing)
+- [Code of Conduct](/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Follow the instructions on the README's [Getting Started](/README.md#Getting-Started) section to get this project up and running.
+
+## Contributing
+
+### Report a Bug
+
+To report a bug, open an issue on GitHub with the type `Bug` using the available [bug report issue form](/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml). Please ensure the bug has not already been reported. **If the bug is a potential security vulnerability, please report it using our [security policy](/SECURITY.md).**
+
+### Suggest a Feature or Enhancement
+
+To suggest a feature or enhancement, please create an issue on GitHub with the type `Enhancement` using the available [feature request issue form](/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml). Please ensure the feature or enhancement has not already been suggested.
+
+### Open a Pull Request (PR)
+
+- Fork the repo, create a branch, implement your changes, add any relevant tests, and submit a PR when your changes are **tested** and ready for review.
+- Fill in the [PR template](/.github/pull_request_template.md).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you'd like to implement a new feature, please consider creating a [feature request issue](/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml) first to start a discussion about the feature.
+
+#### F5 Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
+
+F5 requires all contributors to agree to the terms of the F5 CLA (available [here](https://github.com/f5/f5-cla/blob/main/docs/f5_cla.md)) before any of their changes can be incorporated into an F5 Open Source repository (even contributions to the F5 CLA itself!).
+
+If you have not yet agreed to the F5 CLA terms and submit a PR to this repository, a bot will prompt you to view and agree to the F5 CLA. You will have to agree to the F5 CLA terms through a comment in the PR before any of your changes can be merged. Your agreement signature will be safely stored by F5 and no longer be required in future PRs.
+
+### Git Guidelines
+
+- Keep a clean, concise and meaningful git commit history on your branch (within reason), rebasing locally and squashing before submitting a PR.
+- Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/> and summarized in the next few points:
+  - In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature").
+  - In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...").
+  - Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less.
+  - Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line.
+  - Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (`git commit -a` to give you more space and time in your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`).
