1# Contributing to Go 2 3Go is an open source project. 4 5It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help! 6 7## Before filing an issue 8 9If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing 10list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If 11the behavior you are seeing is confirmed as a bug or issue, it can easily be re-raised in the issue tracker. 12 13## Filing issues 14 15Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). 16See the [security policy](https://golang.org/security) for details. 17 18The recommended way to file an issue is by running `go bug`. 19Otherwise, when filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions: 20 211. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)? 222. What operating system and processor architecture are you using? 233. What did you do? 244. What did you expect to see? 255. What did you see instead? 26 27For change proposals, see [Proposing Changes To Go](https://go.dev/s/proposal-process). 28 29## Contributing code 30 31Please read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html) before sending patches. 32 33Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under 34the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. 35 36
