## Contributing ##
All contributions are welcome and very much appreciated!

**I'm looking for contributors that are interested in taking a more active co-maintainer role as it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to find time to maintain gitlint. Please open a PR if you're interested - Thanks!**

See [jorisroovers.github.io/gitlint/contributing](http://jorisroovers.github.io/gitlint/contributing) for details on
how to get started - it's easy!

FYI, we maintain a [wishlist on our wiki](https://github.com/jorisroovers/gitlint/wiki/Wishlist).
