## Reporting Bugs
Be sure you are using the most recent version of e107 prior to reporting an issue.
You may report any bugs and make feature requests [e107's GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/e107inc/e107/issues).
## Contributing to Development
* Please submit 1 pull request for each GitHub issue you work on.
* Make sure that only the lines you have changed actually show up in a file-comparison (diff).
Some text editors alter every line; this should be avoided.
* It is recommended to configure `git pull` to rebase on the master branch by default to avoid unnecessary merge commits. You can set this up in your copy of the repo's `.git/config` file like so:
```
[branch "master"]
rebase = true
```
* See the [CONTRIBUTING](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) document for a tutorial on getting started.
