+## Guidelines
+
+1. Rebase before opening a pull request
+2. If you are sending several unrelated fixes or features, use a branch and a separate pull request for each
+3. If possible try squashing everything in a single commit. This is particularly beneficial in the case of feature merges since it allows easy bisecting when a problem arises
