+# Contributing to the Datadog AWS Lambda functions + +:tada: First, thanks for contributing! :tada: + +## Submitting Issues + +- First take a look at the Troubleshooting section of our Knowledge Base. +- If you can't find anything useful, please contact our Solutions Team for assistance. +- Finally, you can open a Gitbub issue + +## Pull Requests + +Thanks for helping this plugin grow! In order to ease/speed up our review, here are some items you can check/iprove when submitting your PR: + +- [ ] have a proper commit history (we advise you to rebase if needed). +- [ ] write tests for the code you wrote. +- [ ] preferably make sure that all tests pass locally. +- [ ] summarize your PR with a descriptive title and a message describing your changes, cross-referencing any related bugs/PRs. + +## Commits + +- Pleaes keep each commit's changes small and focused--many changes in the same commit makes them harder to review. +- Please also combine each code-change within one commit rather than many commits. Rebase liberally. +- Please make all commit messages clear and communicative. + +Following these rules keeps history cleaner, makes it easier to revert things, and it makes developers happier too.
